This infamous tale of sexual coming-of-age in Victorian England is an amorous adventure unduplicated in the annals of erotic literature. Here, Volumes I and II are published together, allowing readers to follow the lusty narrator from his first "innocent" experimentations with his sisters to his final initiation into "the mysteries of the coition of the sexes."

5.0 out of 5 stars
A great erotica book but ....,
By
This review is from: Education of a Maiden (Mass Market Paperback)
For the life of me I do not understand where Blue Moon got the title since this book has NOTHING to do with the education of a maiden but is rather the coming of age story of young Charlie Roberts.... What is even more disturbing is that this book is a 250 page, two chapter version of the much larger 'Romance of Lust' ..... so .... if you are an avid reader I am sure that you have already paid out the buck and read this story .... I have seen erotica publishers do this before, some just taking a book called 'Katherin' then changing the name to 'Elizabeth' and republishing ... I gave the 'Romance of Lust', a 5 star review Quote Hitting the scales at over 500 pages the connosoire of Victorian erotica will absolutely read every single page probably over and over again ...... This book, first published as four volumes, is now generally reprinted as one book with all four volumes .. For those readers that have a proclivity to enjoy coming of age books as told by a young man than this is the best of all Victorian examples I have ever devoured.... A fifteen year old Charlie Roberts he manages to witness a recently married houseguest, Mrs. Benson, in the thoes of sex with her husband. The little voyeur is soon discovered by the newlywed, and, instead of becoming outraged and immediately snitching on his parents, Mrs. B swears Charlie to keep 'their secret' and she will 'reward him' for his silence. Well let me tell you what a deviously delicious reward it was, and, she went out of her way to reward Charlie over and over..... Matter of fact, she introduced Charlie to her friend and she also rewarded him over and over ...... Our hero, very quickly decides to spread his newfound knowledge with his two younger sisters and, feigning innocence, allows himself to be seduced by two successive live-in governesses, one of which he actually impregnates...... Charlie's appetite for the erotic and sexual becomes voracious as he managed to either seduce, or let himself be seduced, by practically anyone that comes within his grasp, including, of course, (it is after all Victorian erotic lit) his mother .... Male and female alike fall under his spell one way or another .... I can't imagine much under the norms either eroticism or sexuality that isn't described in the most delicious and intimate detail in this book so it's easy to understand why repeated print runs, over the past 40 years alone, have been bought by Grove Press, Caroll & Graf, Masquarade Books and now in 2002 a new edition by Blue Moon to be relased in June. If the past sales are any indication, this edition will sell out fast as well and will also be treasured as keepsaked for those naughtiest of moments to read alone unquote
