The portion of a woman that appeals to Man's depravity Is fashioned with considerable care, And what, at first, appears to be a simple little cavity Is really an elaborate affair. If he wrote the above verse, and the indications are that he did, A P Herbert never said a truer word. So who better to thoroughly investigate this 'elaborate affair' than one whose credentials in matters of anatomy and art history are equally impeccable - Oliver Maitland? In broad cultural terms, a gynaecological vision of the female parts is perfectly legitimate. Their name, however, is unutterable - hence the Shakespearean euphemism 'country matters' for the title of this book. Maitland discusses the female pudendum and why it has been airbrushed out of art history. He examines taste: 'a light, quite lemony Hollandaise sauce, adorning some foodstuff which I haven't yet quite defined'; anatomy: '[the clitoris is] the only organ in the solar system which has no other function than to give pleasure'; recreation: 'vaginal fisting is not every woman's cup of tea'; scientific theory: 'for the adept... stimulation of the G-spot... produces orgasms far more intense than those produced by clitoral stimulation alone' or 'female ejaculation... its advocates gush over it with unaffected enthusiasm'; and finally, mythology: 'the vagina dentata... an unattainable item on the shopping list of dominatrixes'. 'From the earliest times, art and literature were not the places to find enlightenment about the female parts, or even a subjective angle, ' writes Maitland, grasping this nettle of a subject with a confidence and skill that go far to redress this unfortunate cultural imbalance.

When Clare Leighton moved to the countryside in the 1930s, she tuned her exceptional creativity to the Chiltern landscape around her. Already considered one of the finest engravers of her time, she immediately began a series of portraits, in words and engravings, which explored the nature and rhythms of rural life. With subjects as varied as picking primroses, the village witch and smithy, harvest festival, chair bodgers, the local pub, felling trees and country cramps, Leighton documents the idiosyncrasies and nuances of rural culture, leaving us with a valuable and beautiful record of a way of life that has now vanished. Illustrated with her own bold and elegant engravings, here is an affectionate, unsentimental portrait of the English countryside. Book jacket.

“Dreaming of moving to the country? First, read Michael Korda’s engaging memoir. City types will find laughter, profit, and fair warning in Country Matters.” —Washington Post With his inimitable sense of humor and storytelling talent, New York Times bestselling author Michael Korda brings us this charming, hilarious, self-deprecating memoir of a city couple's new life in the country. At once entertaining, canny, and moving, Country Matters does for Dutchess County, New York, what Under the Tuscan Sun did for Tuscany. This witty memoir, replete with Korda's own line drawings, reads like a novel, as it chronicles the author's transformation from city slicker to full-time country gentleman, complete with tractors, horses, and a leaking roof. When he decides to take up residence in an eighteenth-century farmhouse in Dutchess County, ninety miles north of New York City, Korda discovers what country life is really like: Owning pigs, more than owning horses, even more than owning the actual house, firmly anchored the Kordas as residents in the eyes of their Pleasant Valley neighbors. You may own your land, but without concertina barbed wire, or the 82nd Airborne on patrol, it's impossible to keep people off it! It's possible to line up major household repairs over a tuna melt sandwich. The locals are not particularly quick to accept these outsiders, and the couple's earliest interactions with their new neighbors provide constant entertainment, particularly when the Kordas discover that hunting season is a year-round event—right on their own land! From their closest neighbors, mostly dairy farmers, to their unforgettable caretaker Harold Roe—whose motto regarding the local flora is "Whack it all back! "—the residents of Pleasant Valley eventually come to realize that the Kordas are more than mere weekenders. Sure to have readers in stitches, this is a book that has universal appeal for all who have ever dreamed of owning that perfect little place to escape to up in the country, or, more boldly, have done it.
