Frank And I was repetitive, boring and poorly written. For example, the only word used for intercourse was 'poke'. The whole book could easily be summarized as: "Whip her butt and poke it in. Then do it again and again and again and again and again and again," using the same words and the same clumsy, inadequate descriptions. It is as if the author were following the command, "Be sure to describe each new scene in the same old way!"
Don't waste your money!

This classic has been published and re-published through the years. This edition is a wordworth classic but I have also seen it as a Blue Moon book published in 1987

The story is narrated by Charlie a young man in the late 1800's in Britainwho meets Frank on the road to Portsmouth to become a sailor. Frank is actually Frances and she donned a boy's clothes and disguise for protection on the rough journey.

Charlie then takes Frank into his home and is happy to have the company for a short while. Frank becomes enamoured of her young benofactor and then in shprt time faces the problem of declaring herself to Charlie and her true feelings. Misbehaving, Frank then sees the opportunity to clear the air when Charlie decides to have her spanked, something that we all know the Vitorians absolutley love to do ...

Its a great story and erotic as the truth is known and the games begin .....

This is *the* superior Edwardian erotic novel, and it has to be read to be believed. It will be re-discovered generation after generation. The story is perfectly told, the characters are vivid, and the dialog crisp and witty. If you are looking for the premier discipline novel of all time: look no further.

this is a nice story with good characterisation. the hero is never shown as being cruel for the sake of his pleasure alone and the heroine has the option of alwas\ys saying no. the remarkable thing about this novel is the independent character of the women, something that is rarely seen in victorian erotica.

This book is in a class with the likes of Fanny Hill, A Man and a Maid and Eveline. It is wildly erotic and yet still tender. It is above all things a love story that finds virtue triumphal. It has a wonderful plot twist that prevents me from giving much information about character development. It incorporates all the elements of a good erotic tale of the period. The poor young lady is duped into taking work in a brothel and then after she makes good her escape the real story begins. If you enjoy very mild discipline, this story has one of the most arousing over the knee spanking sessions I have ever read.If you want a well written, intelligent look at the erotic writings of Victorian England, look no further than this book. In the fashion of the period, I remain your most humble servant.

I have read the 1987 edition of this book and by all appearances it's one of the early of the Blue Moon series of books....

Like all great erotic books it's of course disappointing to see it out of print at the time of this writing ....

This is a love story and if you enjoy the concept of s surprise package then you'll love this story. Frank is the mandatory young and wealthy English genteleman that thats a young street urchin under his wing in a purely alturistic act of helping a down and out fellow human ...

What he doesnt know is that the street urchin is a young girl that had to dress like a boy to protect herself from life on the streets ...

Needless to say she falls in love with Frank who begins to have troble when he begins to sense these feelings coming unnaturally from a young boy .... well you'll have to reda this story to see and tatse the delicious the developments .....

A classic MUST HAVE for your library ....

A lovely, bittersweet, and very sexy love story set mostly in England before the turn of the twentieth century. Beautifully written in the flowery language of the time, this novel captures many of the morals and values of that period, at least from the point of view of one wealthy English gentleman. Although it is not at all what one would consider a "transnovel," it does contain a non-sexualized aspect of female-to-male cross-dressing that resolves itself about one fourth of the way in, and sadly, is never glimpsed again. However, what replaces it is more than enough to engage most any reader, even if the original "gender variant" topic was the reader's primary interest and not the "gender role differences," "sexuality" and "discipline techniques" of a bygone era, which the story eventually and elegantly morphs into.

This is a novel that speaks of a very different time, "the olden days where even a hint of stocking was looked on as something shocking." Yet it goes well beyond that, into rich and elegant characterizations of a select group of the men and women of that time, addressing authentic feelings and attitudes in a post-Victorian culture. One might find themselves at first shocked to glimpse how children and sometimes adults of that era were disciplined through the use of corporal punishment delivered by a switch. Perhaps one might even be more taken aback by the salacious and prurient manner in which the main characters observed or even participated in what, by today's standards, would certainly be considered child abuse (or even pedophilia) delivered in a most sadomasochistic manner. However, one must realize that this is just a work of fiction, and a good one at that, and because these things did exist, one needn't feel too guilty for one's interest in such matters, even by today's much tougher standards!
