A Once-Banned Classic of Victorian Erotica. It's no wonder so many Victorian and Edwardian British males grew up with a taste for being birched and caned! Not if they met irresistible women with a taste for discipline like the alluring widow, Mrs. Muriel Harcourt in this erotic gem from the 1900s. That's what happens to Cecil Pendergast a young undergraduate at Oxford, where he receives an unexpected education at the expert hands of the comely widow. Soon a willing Cecil is embracing the twin arts of submission under his teacher and domination over the adventurous young women of Mrs. Harcourt's circle.
