This sumptuous volume celebrates literature's original "natural woman" in all of her varied and glorious incarnations. From earthy jungle goddesses and sensual jungle queens to bedazzling slave girls and haughty harem damsels; from resplendent tropical tramps and beguiling dragon ladies to brazen, semi-clad barbarian babes to Silke's versions of the modern, bold, daring and dangerous beauties that prowl his imagination.
