Georgian 'erotic pamphlet' collection goes on display
Saucy chapbooks held in the library of Townend House in the Lake District have been put on show for the first time by the National Trust
It could almost be the title of a modern-day Mills & Boon novel – but The Crafty Chambermaid's Garland is actually a 240-year-old erotic pamphlet which has just been unearthed in a Lake District house.
