A traditional source of sexual titillation for adult
readers, fairy tales historically featured licentious
themes before being cleaned up for the consumption of
children in modern times. Seasoned erotica author Mitzi
Szereto restores the explicit sex in the 15 tales in this
provocative book -- and adds a few surprises of her own.
Here the bawdy humor of French fable meets the sublime
eroticism of ancient Chinese myth as a far from virginal
damsel weds a Prince Charming with a shoe fetish; Little
Red Riding Hood discovers Grandma's bed is open to any
stray wolf; and a Japanese monk stumbles onto an S/M scene
behind a forbidden door. Each tale is prefaced by a brief
introduction telling its history and the sexual culture in
which it was originally composed.
