Serialized for 18 legendary issues in in the Late Victorian era, the Pearl is a notorious collection of jokes, limericks and naughty ballads, with several complete novels interspersed among its content. A fascinating read for anyone interested in underground literature of the period. Complete in one volume.
About the AuthorThese stories are taken from The Pearl (A Magazine of Facetiae and Voluptuous Reading), which was published between 1879 and 1880, and which across its 18-issue lifetime reveled unashamedly in its reputation for salubrious gossip from the upper echelons of society.
