The Yellow Room and Little Green Books
I started reading “the yellow room.” on vacation. It is a small book 80 pages in total.
Printed by the Olympia press. www.olympiapress.com if you have never been to this site check it out!
The story in itself is pretty interesting… the blurb on the back of the book says “Another classic account from Olympia’s later years. The yellow Room is the story of Alice Daryell, a young woman sent off to live with her aunt and uncle, there to be educated and disciplined, as it turns out by means of the lash.”
I seem to be drawn to those green covered books mostly written by anonymous persons… Does anyone else have that affliction?
At the beginning of each chapter in this book there is a quote.
Chapter one starts with…
“Come in” said Coupeau “no one will eat you”
L’Assommoir
I love that quote… and there are several more like it through out the book. I tend to like to put captions and such at the beginning of my chapters. So when I saw this I was instantly drawn in.
The story is filled with BDSM. A young innocent girl is sexually awakened by her “uncle” in the yellow room. (he is not really her uncle just requires she call him such) He birches her… uses a crop on her…restricts bathroom usage… and uses humiliation delightfully. All making her blossom and become aware of her sexual self and beauty.
The book has been a delight! (Thanks Lenora Bell for suggesting it to me)
I seem to have about five books sitting in some sort of half read state on my nightstand. A mixture of romance, erotica, and history books. This one I plan to finish tonight and put on my keeper shelf with the 6 other green books already residing there.
Hugs and kisses.
