Unlike the majority of her friends who attend Greystones prestigious boarding school, Annabel actually likes having her bottom whacked. She is certainly in the right environment to satisfy her predilection for spanking and corporal punishment, as Greystones has long upheld the enforcement of strict discipline... yet even the hardy Annabel trembles in fear when she feels the biting sting of the vicious cane on her bottom. She finally meets her mentor in the guise of Miss Clarissa Brown, a kindly yet strict piano teacher who lives in the village, and who delights in dispensing discipline as much as Annabel enjoys receiving it. The weekly sessions of painful 'encouragement' with strap and cane inspire Annabel to do better with her music studies. The term passes by in a haze of pranks and punishments, sport, lessons, well-striped bottoms, camaraderie and friendship. Such is life at Greystones, indicative of a time in their lives that the girls will look back on many years from now, most of them remembering their school days with fondness and affection, and the occasional wince as they recall the punishing fire of the cane.

The Girls of Greystones Boarding School is a six-volume series. Annabel is the sixth and final book, and like all books in the series, can be read as a stand-alone novella - though we think you'll derive even more enjoyment if you read all six!
