Naked People: A Collection of Short Stories Paperback – Illustrated, July 16, 2014

ReviewNaked PeopleSally Dali 2014.Self Publication by Panther PublicationSally Dali is a nom-de plume, supposedly for a 30-something English naturist - the claim of a woman authoress is probably honest. This is a collection of six stories, each written with themes taken from her love-affair since teenage years with nakedness. It glories enjoyment of her body living in a social context of Naturism or nudism free of the usual trappings of clothing.Sallys muse is a modern girl, who has children, likes tattoos and enjoys being naked as much as possible at her home and on holidays. She revels in the freedom it gives and tells how she copes with embarrassing events. She stays at naturist campsites in Britain, France, Spain and Lanzarotte & draws her partners into trying out a naked social lifestyle. We hear what one may thus come across : often meeting figures of importance whilst completely naked.For people unused to Naturism, nudism or nakedness in daily life, the task her stories try to explain is what inspires people to take their clothes off. The tales suggest where and when this can become a happy, even enjoyable lifestyle experience. Sadly her stories cant ignore her sexuality and the reason may be something on that would be expected by people who havent tried Naturism. Sally is at her best being at one with nature in the country and seaside as her characters Audrey, Sarah and Beth. The less said about her ‘Cressida’, ‘Pearls’ and supposed ‘Camp Sunshine’ the better – this stuff is a carry-on style tragedy and not about Naturism.A more thorny issue touching the law and responsible adult behaviour arises in Sallys last story. This tale is about rambling naked, which is attracting a new interest among Naturists. Her muse, almost as in a dream, leaves her rural retreat to ramble naked in woodland, then encounters a youth. Their surprising discussion also is unreal but magical, the tale becoming all the more risky when the tryst is repeated. Sallys’ dreamtale seemingly tempts young men & girls, like the Wandervogel of the 1920’s, into adventure and enjoy recreation with their friends just being naked in wild places.This is among the first modern novella having a Naturist theme. Its fresh and in the mood approach reminds us of stories once published in Sun and Health in the 1980s.

Having read her other two E-books, this was delightful. I really enjoy Sallie Dali's work. Totally authentic, wonderful prose about the naturist/nudist experience. I hope she continues writing about the naturist life.

Sally writes about the sexual side of nudism as well as that which draws people to try nudism. Nothing spectacular.

Sally's fiction is a great example of tasteful stories that show accurate depictions of naturism.Her stories are badly needed,too often naturism gets used as an excuse to write pornographic stories.It's nice to see that ian't the case here.Great effort Sally.

Not finished but interested to see the flow of each story

Absolute rubbish. It should not be listed as a 'naturist' book.

very good

i like her writing

A very good read, highlighting the benefits of naturism

Worth reading a collection of slightly erotic stories based around naked people, with the exception of one tale which about eroticism spoiling simple naked pleasure.Would make a pleasant poolside book read a story have a dip, read a story .....

Disappointed when you think what you paid.
