but another in a series of fetish books that deal specifically with erotic spankings and whippings of young girls. The plot of the whole story is very simple and is based on the rediscovered memoirs of a young 20 year old man that was forced to escape from England after working for some time as the second in command of a very special girls reformatory. The reformatory consisted of fifty to sixty young girls that were sent to be taught to behave in society by judges who acted as judge, prosecutor and jury. Needless to say, the reformatory also had benofactors that donated money for the priveledge of having some of the young girls given to them as slave labour after they finished their term, and, of course also be allowed to spend time at the reformatory to supervise and witness the girls punishment and 'education'. Oh yes, the judges as well were not remiss in their duties to pay regular visits to the reformatory. The book spends considerable time in describing the girls and then, of course, detailing the numerous spankings, beatings, whippings of naked rears. With access to many delicious young girls our hero took little advantage of them except for one anal sex scene that he just could not resist causing the eventual need for him and his friends to be forced to escape England. Matter of fact there is very very little sex in this book and that is why I warn the reader that you really have to have a thing for spanking and whipping to really enjoy this book.

Although this Edwardian erotica is not what I really enjoy, I must admit that even with the limited subject matterthe writing was good and very easy to read. Finally, I am certain, that I have read this whole story before, in another book, and by an author, not the famous Anonymous, but, I have not been able to find it in my little library....

GIRL'S REFORMATORY was published as TOMBOY by Anonymous (Grove Press 1986) and, as previously mentioned, DEPARTURE FROM THE GOLDEN CROSS by Richard Manton (Blue Moon Books 1991). I'd wager it has other titles as well. If you're into spanking, this just might be your bible.

This review is from: Girl's Reformatory (Mass Market Paperback)

Girl's Reformatory is a reprint of a 1991 Blue Moon Book named "Departure From the Golden Cross," which the publisher has for some unknown reason decided not to credit to their best writer, Richard Manton. The plot is heavy with the well written fantasy of men dominating women. While the time frame can be described as Victorian, the writing style is definitely not. The annoying Victorian style of speech as might be read in "The Pearl" is not here. The language is not modern but approaches it in a florid way that lets one's imagination flourish. The descriptions of punishments and the character's bodies are very explicit but not overly vulgar. Cast members of Manton's books are here: Elaine Cox, Sally, Lesley, Tracey, Helen Wong are stalwarts in much of Manton's fiction. I highly recommend Manton's books to men and women who enjoy fantasies of men and sometimes women dominating their female charges. I've been reading Manton since the 1970's and no author does this type of erotica better.
