Miss Mary is a translation of a French flagellant novel written by
Alphonse Momas (1846-1933), a prolific author of erotica (Miss
Mary, London-Paris Paris]: Societe des Bibliophiles, 1907). Momas
used numerous pseudonyms, including, amongst others, Tap-Tap,
Pan-Pan, Trix, and Le Nismois. Miss Mary is part of Momas' series,
'Par le fouet et par la verge' - 'By whip and by rod.' It is also
the first book in a three volume series set in an elite girls'
school in London governed by a harsh disciplinarian, Miss Sticker.
The other books in this series are Miss Gregor (1907) and Le Secret
de Miss Sticker (1907). The English translation of Miss Gregor is
also available from Birchgrove Press.
Miss Gregor is a translation of a French flagellant novel written
by Alphonse Momas (1846-1933), a prolific author of erotica (Miss
Gregor, London-Paris Paris]: Societe des Bibliophiles, 1907). Momas
used numerous pseudonyms, including, amongst others, Tap-Tap,

series, 'Par le fouet et par la verge' - 'By whip and by rod.' It
is also the second book in a three volume series set in an elite
girls' school in London governed by a harsh disciplinarian, Miss
Sticker. The other books in this series are Miss Mary (1907) and Le
Secret de Miss Sticker (1907). This Birchgrove Press edition of
Miss Gregor is based on an English translation first published in
1907 (Miss Gregor, London-Paris: Privately printed for the French
and English Bibliophiles Society). It was most probably published
and printed in France and, given the idiosyncratic nature of the
translation, was almost certainly translated by someone whose first
language was not English. Chapter headpiece decorations in this
Birchgrove Press edition of Miss Gregor are from another flagellant
novel written by Momas, Fouetteuse, par Trix (Paris-Bruxelles,
1901). Chapter tail-piece decorations are based on designs in
Fouetteuse. The English translation of Miss Mary (London-Paris,
Privately printed for the French and English Bibliophiles Society,
1906 c. 1907]) is also available from Birchgrove Press.
