JOHN SMITH'S SCHOOLDAYS [Tawsingham 2002 Classic]

These eight stories show how painful and humiliating English boarding school can be. In the title tale, a young urban lad with a street vocabulary endures the stings of discipline as he struggles to fit in with the other boys. In Stephanie vs. Matron, an inebriated Stephanie makes a number of unflattering remarks comparing Miss Prim to a horse. The next day Miss Prim blisters the poor girl's bottom with a series of painful spankings. In No Ordinary Punishment, Alan reports to Miss Treanor as instructed. Despite the frequent torments she has laid on his backside, her powerful presence and sweet voice infatuate him. 84 pp. side-stapled.
