Publisher's Synopsis

Rediscover the delightful, surprising-and irresistibly naughty-Victorian art of "furtling" in this interactive picture book that puts the underside (and more) of Victoriana at your fingertips. Practiced a century ago by Victorian upper classes, "furtling" is a wondrous erotic journey into the human hand's secret folds and furrows, one that delivers pleasure most vitalizing, lifts melancholy from the desponding mind, and restores wounded spirits.

Just place the book on a flat surface, position the fingers in the appropriate manner, life the page, and--Eureka!--behold The Heavenly Twins, Toungue & Cheeks, The Crocodile, or Happy Valley. In all, thirteen meticulous black-and-white engravings of turn-of-the-century ladies and gentleman-each with a die cut in exactly the right place-will profoundly change one's relationship with the hand.
