Captain Devereux is posted to India, far away from his beautiful young wife and child, and at first is devastated at the parting. But when he comes across Lizzie Wilson, the wife of one of his fellow officers, her ample bosom and open thighs prove more than enough consolation. And when her husband objects to their dalliances, no matter—for the regiment Colonel's three young daughters, Fanny, Amy, and Mabel, are more than eager to be initiated into the ways of adult love!
Set in colonial Hindustan, each sinuous line in this tale provides proof that tropical heat and erotic lust are perfect bedfellows. Also known as Love Adventures in Hindustan, this story was originally published in Amsterdam in 1889.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Not only erotic but a deliciously good book to read,
By
This review is from: Venus in India (Wordsworth Classic Erotica) (Paperback)
As a classic in erotic literature this book of course has gone in and out of print over the past years .... I have read the second 1989 printing by Carroll & Graf (the champions of erotic lit) in a 299 page edition that contains two volumes by Anonymous (my favorite author) .......The book deals with the exploits of Captain Deveraux back in the 1800's when India was still occupied by the Brits.... In the first volume the esteemed Captain is billeted in Hindustan waiting for orders. At his hotel the captain meets Lizzie the wife of one of his fellow officers. Captain Deveraux and Lizzie develop more than a relationship, hmmmmm, and Lizzie then describes how she was seduced at the age of thirteen by another soldier Captain Vincent in Britain .... The second volume deals with the esteemed captain travelling to the hinterlands where he meets the Selwyn family, his commanding officer, his wife and two very young daughters Amy and Fanny .... The fact that there were few eligible British men around certainly temped our esteemed Captain Deveraux and tru to the erotic nature of the book he does succumb .. actually over and over .. This is an EXCEPTIONAL book in that there IS a story, there is character development to some degree and an account of a very believable lifestyle of British officers in their occupation of the Indian subcontinent. Reality is wahat makes the eroticism so so sweet requiring this book to be a MUST HAVE for your erotic library ..

A classic of it's kind and well worth buying,
By
This review is from: Venus in India (Paperback)
I have an old Carroll & Graf edition that includes an interesting introduction to the book. As another reviewer has mentioned, it's well written, there IS a plot (unlike many erotic novels) and the setting is believable. The hero, Capt. Deveraux, is in India (after the mutiny one assumes) and proceeds from lustful encounter (with Lizzie, whose relating of the story of her seduction when she was thirteen is an interesting little side-story on it's own) to romance and onwards to seduction with Fanny, the oldest daughter of Col. Selwyn.The good Capt. is later tricked (in Fanny's absence) into making love to the virginal Amy (the next Selwyn sister), following which he proceeds to have an ongoing relationship with both sisters. The book culminates with the good Capt. making love to the youngest Selwyn sister (twelve year old Mabel) - I won't reveal the text but suffice it to say that while the good Capt. is the first actual male to penetrate young Mabel, she's physically no virgin thx to a certain long green member of the vegetable family. The books extremely well written, interesting plot and story and believably erotic with many a twist in the tale. Enjoy!
