Review # 1 was written on 2018-08-23 00:00:00 Bob Will 'Passionate pop-ups', 'amorous pull-tabs' and 'explicit action mechanics' are three phrases the publishers use to advertise Peter Seymour's 'The Roaring Twenties' and its sub-title is 'A Spicy Pop-Up Book For Adults Only'. All this is true but, and this is very definitely not a disparaging comment, it is all rather modest and not at all vulgar, in fact, probably good wholesome fun. Indeed the 'fast new era of fun, freedom and fooling around' also used by the publishers is probably more apt. It is all very cleverly done and the opening scene is of two dancers on stage with their feather boas covering them up while, with the pull of a tab, a member of the audience who has clambered onto the stage tries to get a peep at what is not revealed! Swimming is the second scene with a bathing beauty encased in a rubber ring within which, once again at the push of a tab, a male swimmer's head pops out of the water at around breast height! And as couple hurried to find romance, a pull down tab allows the cuddling lady to 'cut through whatever was holding up the thrill!' She rather naughtily cuts through the gentleman's braces and his trousers begin to fall down. The new dances of the era get an airing (quite literally!) as the Charleston is performed by three ladies and three gents with, at that always present pull of a tab, the gentleman in the forefront, as he moves hands from knee to knee, has his hands perilously close to the stocking tops of the two leading ladies whose backs are to the audience. With what could well be, say, Rudolph Valentino and Alla Nazimova on a poster in the background, the 'passionate new film fads' are recalled as a courting couple wander by. The pull of a tab has them turning completely over and obscuring the embracing film stars as they begin their own activity with a passionate embrace - dressed of course as The Sheikh and his lady. A couple sharing a bottle of champagne sees the gentleman imbibing while, that tab action again has the lady pouring her drink into an adjacent aspidistra so that she can remain in full control of her senses should any action take place. And a couple dancing demonstrates that the gents are still 'up to their old tricks' but the lady's hand can be pulled up to smack the would-be philanderer's cheek! Train travel shows a sleeping car where a lady is climbing gracefully into the upper bunk but a pull of the tab and she has not quite made it in her negligee as three gentlemen's heads pop out of the other bunks in the sleeper. And speaking of travel an automobile mechanic is under the bonnet of a car with its lady owner stood in front obscuring him. The tab turns the lady round and reveals a smiling mechanic and an oily hand print on the lady's dress in the region of her derrière! The book closes with a double page spread about the bedtime experience, 'a new and moving experience' at that. Clothes strewn over the bedroom floor, the lady is already abed while the gent is discreetly covered as he dives in ... all that is revealed is that, with his leg still not under the covers, he has his socks on (no, surely not ...)! Then, that tab again, the bed rises, as if in a Brian Rix farce so that the couple can get up to whatever they wish thereafter! Having said all that, it should be remembered that in the words of the immortal Kenny Everett, 'it is all done in the best possible taste!' ... and is good fun along the way. March 2021 With the book's back cover blurb stating, 'The Roaring Twenties was a fast new era of fun, freedom and fooling around', I could not resist revisiting it in this coronavirus-riddled world we are living in. Fun, freedom and fooling around is exactly what we are looking for! And this saucy pop-up picture book, with moving parts, provides exactly that. Can-can girls open the show, a swimmer relaxes in her bathing tube - that is until the flap is pulled and up pops a gentleman's head from below the water, and a couple are kissing passionately in their living room but when the flap is raised the lady is smoothly cutting his braces from behind ... heavens above! New dances, imitating the movies, enjoying champagne and cuddling are all there but the last named ends up with the gent getting a slap across the face and his hands are only around the lady's waist! Innocent fun in a sleeper on the train gets passengers looking on all agog while the mechanic fixing a car has his hands elsewhere when the smartly dressed flapper turns round to reveal a greasy palm print on her derriere! And then its bedtime and as the bed pops up to allow the couple to go to sleep (?) the caption is 'No wonder the Twenties were roaring.' What a pity these 21st century twenties aren't the same. The book is pure escapism and just made to cheer us up in our desperate times. The rating has been revised to five for all the bonhomie it created!

Review # 2 was written on 2017-02-25 00:00:00 Gregory Cooper The paperwork in this pop-up book is amazing. I love the artstyle and the 'naughty' situations. It's all pretty tame, so don't go expecting full on nudity or anything. Still, a cute little book to look through.
