Publisher's Synopsis
If you're in the mood for the lighter, sillier side of sex, this story has everything you need: a legendarily giant trouser snake, tight rope sexual acrobatics, blushing maids, nervous young men, the collapse of medieval economies due to the skyrocketing demand for aloe vera (...you know, all that friction...), footnotes for additional hilarity, fortune and fame gained and lost, french maids, casual voyeurism, Amsterdam, slippery butter orgies, and more. An adult fable about the risks inherent in the pursuit of one's desires, the tale begins in the Sixteenth Century when there lived a young man who dreamed of becoming the City of Antwerp's greatest cobbler. And, at the height of his success, he would indeed come to cobble many a willing customer. His story, long considered too bizarre and sexually charged to be true, has been granted new life through historic inquiry. Now readers may finally come to grips with this lost chapter in the legacy of Old Europe, as slippery as it is infamous.
