This is a cutting from my archive: a letter from “The Times”.

The Vanishing Hanky

[…] One day in the 1920s when [my father] and my uncle were attending school, the latter suffered a massive nose bleed, and was subsequently caned for having no handkerchief with him. The same punishment was duly meted out to my father for failing to have a spare on to lend to his brother.

For the rest of his life, he could always be relied on to have at least two handkerchiefs, and generally three, about his person.

- Jan Robinson

This is so delightfully warped and unfair that it would sound pretty implausible in a spanking story. If somebody could pull it off, I’d love to read it, though.

That said, if stuff like that had happened to me at school, I’d have grown up to be an axe murderer.

Now you can buy a book of the best entries from "The Spanking Writers".
