Saucy Stories, May 1919
Saucy Stories, May 1919 This issue of *Saucy Stories* (Vol. VI, No. 4) contains a range of short fiction, stories, and lighter pieces typical of the pulp magazine format. The featured complete novelette is "Love in the Jungle" by May Freud Dickenson, following Rhoda Waler's arrival by train in India to meet her estranged father for the first time in fifteen years. Upon arrival at Barampadar station, she is unexpectedly greeted by Ganesh Das, her father's native Indian assistant, rather than her father himself.
