'''''Venus in India, or Love adventures in Hindustan''''' is a [[pornographic novel]] by the pseudonymous "Charles Devereaux" (variously spelled in the different editions) published by [[Auguste Brancart]] in [[Brussels]] in 1889. It purports to be the autobiography of a British Army officer serving on the North West Frontier of India, describing his erotic adventures with Lizzie Wilson and the three daughters of Colonel Selwyn. His wife Louie remains in England. He sometimes refers to [[Théophile Gautier]]'s ''Mademoiselle de Maupin'' during the narrative which is set during the third Afghan War. It is divided into two volumes and the content of a third volume is occasionally referred to in the text but this was never published. | '''''Venus in India, or Love adventures in Hindustan''''' is a [[pornographic novel]] by the pseudonymous "Charles Devereaux" (variously spelled in the different editions) published by [[Auguste Brancart]] in [[Brussels]] in 1889.
