The co-ordination of illustrations and prose suggests that both were created by the great Mr. Ward. One of the most productive illustrators of the 20th century, his fluid lines delineate voluptuous beauties, most of whom wear high-heeled pumps, sheer stockings and figure-shaping corsets that hold them in place.

Seduced into a liaison in the barn by pretty Betty Allerton, Paul Hammond is introduced to alternative sex-ways when she asks him to switch her with a branch. Mrs. Allerton catches the young couple in the act and decides that she can easily find plenty of work for well-endowed Paul in her bedroom.

There, he becomes fascinated with her large breasts, and they take turns whipping each other. She dresses him in waist-cincher, stockings and high-heeled pumps and directs him to polish the furniture.

From then on, his adult life becomes a quest for busty beauties who enjoy kinky sex. Episodes describe an employment interview, during which he ties and spanks the woman who becomes his secretary. When he's captured and bound by sensuous Mrs. Chalmers, he finds the body and abuse he's been seeking.

The text says —
“The masochistic tendencies that Mrs. Allerton had fused in his psyche so many years before, had gradually lessened as time went by, his sadistic cravings overpowering them almost completely. Now however, although the pains created by the hatpins that were still sticking in his chest, and the darts piercing his rump, were excruciating, but at the same time, delicious, delightful. He found himself moaning in ecstasy with each jolting pain of a dart as it pierced his tender skin. Also his wanton quest was over, he had found a woman with breasts large enough to satisfy his cravings, if only he could stay there, glorying in her massive globes, safe from the outside world . . . .”

The original publication had the construction and dimensions of a full-sized magazine. The layout alternated text on even-numbered pages with pictures on odd-numbered and the full-sized ebook does the opposite.

Except for the color cover, all original scans.

This product includes an optimized presentation of the fine Bill Ward illustrations. His 22 pictures are optimized on 60+ ebook pages. Each ink drawing is shown with complete female characters, followed by enlargements of fetish details, such as legs, high heels and corsets.

The writing is better than competent and coordinates with the action, costumes and sexy characters at play in the luscious illustrations. Everything in the original transposed well to the two ebooks with large, clear pictures. Lots of tantalizing sex and bdsm mayhem that readers will access again and again.
