This is a nice small book and a quick read of erotica. The book is based more on a literature base with a french influence. Most stories are based on artists, models and writers perhaps suggesting they are more open to sexual experimentation or less than common experience. This book is much more tasteful and not pornographic by today's standards. it's inticing but still leaves ample room for your imagination. This would be an excellant read for those new to the erotic genre. ( )

I have never read true erotic literature before - only that which can easily be found online, which is erotic but not often literary, and which is designed for a different purpose to Nin's. This collection of short stories is as good as text book as a guide to human sexuality; each piece is magnificently composed, each character finely drawn and crafted. I think I am in love. ( )

Always keeping an eye open for finer erotica, I was thrilled to come across this work of Anais Nin. My first exposure to Nin. Her writing style paints vivid scenes, clearly stimulating the senses of the reader.
Lovely detail but room enough for one's imagination and own interpretation. Highly recommended to those with the confidence to admit an enjoyment of such works. Looking forward to more of her writings. SA Desire' ( )

By today's standards, this is pretty tame reading, but when it was first published, it was some pretty racy stuff! What you find here is actually worthy of being labeled literature, but make no mistake, these stories are not likely to show up on a high school reading list. These short stories have beginnings, clearly defined endings and the middles are filled with finely crafted stories and adult fantasies. Like a well cut cocktail gown, a lot is revealed, but just enough is left to our imagination that we want to see more. I highly recommend the Delta of Venus as an ideal companion volume to this one.

Little Birds is also a collection of erotica, or stories mostly about sex and the pursuit of it, or whatever you like to call it, mostly from the point of view of the particular female character involved in the tale.

The influence of France on the writer can certainly be seen, here.

However, it is not as good as, or as interesting as Delta of Venus. ( )
