Snowdrops from a Curate's Garden is a collection of obscene stories, with accompanying obscene poems. All sorts of sexual scenes are presented, some quite taboo, but the intent is less to sexually titillate the reader than it is to shock his or her sensibilities through extremes of filth. It was the project of the English author and occultist Aleister Crowley, under the pseudonym "George Archibald Bishop", and published in Paris in 1904.[1] His goal was to write the filthiest book possible, and he felt this was spiritually significant.
