The indefatigable Aishling Morgan continues his campaign to eroticise the classics of English popular literature - this time, it's P.G. Wodehouse! A 1920s country house farce, featuring machinations around a prize pig, plus all the usual diversions we have come to expect from Morgan. Not perhaps up to the standard of 'Beastly Behaviour', his take on 'Hound of the Baskervilles', but spirited and entertaining as ever. In what corner of the great British literary landscape will this fiend strike next? ( ) Aishling Morgan’s books seem to get better and better, more relaxed, relaxing and more replete with pure entertainment as well as the erotic element for which her publisher is renowned. The word ‘disciplinarian’ in the title is a little misleading, as the principal character is (severely) disciplined on her rear quarters rather than being the provider of such discipline; but it is certainly a catchy title which goes with the attractive cover photograph. The plot concerns well-to-do society in the earlier part of the twentieth century, and the boisterous goings-on of a bevy of young females who are little deterred from their mischief by the stringent chastisements delivered forcefully by a veritable host of aunts as well as a randy parson and an ineffectual British fascist. There are many amusing caricatures of the English class system at several levels, the lower levels being (of course) less reticent about exchanging bodily fluids than their ‘betters’, with often hilarious results. A very stimulating read! no reviews | add a review
Stephanie "Stiffy" Truscott has a talent for trouble and no fewer than six aunts, every one of whom considers the best place for her to be over the knee. They object to her driving, her dancing, but most of all to her choice of fianc#65533;; and as she attempts to evade their preferred form of justice, she only manages to dig herself in deeper. After stealing her prospective father-in-law's prize pig and being tricked into joining the local fascists, she knows that the least she can expect is to have her bare bottom caned in front of a large audience, but still she tries to wriggle free.
