  Master Matchek is a Czechoslovakian maths teacher in his mid-fifties who has two great passions. He loves maths and he loves spanking women's bottoms, both young and old. He has a reputation for getting his girls very high marks in their final exams but his reputation for spanking girls who do not do their homework or wear the wrong clothes for his extra lessons is also well known. In this book, Susan Benting enrols her daughter Pauline on the course but omits to tell Master Matchek that she has a husband so she gets spanked twice before the course begins. Phillip Benting learns that spanking his wife and daughter can be very effective. 
  Verified Purchase: Another great story 
  Another great story well written. I really enjoyed reading this book and can not wait for the sequel. Keep up the great writing

  Edward Everett Hale’s The Man Without a Country is a poignant and patriotic short story that explores the devastating consequences of exile and the importance of national identity. The story follows Philip Nolan, a young army officer who, in a moment of reckless defiance, renounces his country during a treason trial. As punishment, he is sentenced to spend the rest of his life at sea, never again hearing mention of the United States. Over the years, Nolan comes to deeply regret his actions, realizing the true meaning of belonging and patriotism as he drifts from one ship to another, forever a man without a home. 
  Narrated by Burt Glendower, this audiobook brings to life Hale’s moving and thought-provoking tale, which remains a powerful meditation on loyalty, identity, and the profound connection between an individual and their homeland. Originally published in 1863, The Man Without a Country was written during the American Civil War, serving as a cautionary tale meant to inspire national unity and devotion.

  Mary Butts - Six of the Best -...

  Six has always been a number we group things around – Six of the best, six of one half a dozen of another, six feet under, six pack, six degrees of separation and a sixth sense are but a few of the ways we use this number. 
   
  Such is its popularity that we thought it is also a very good way of challenging and investigating an author’s work to give width, brevity, humour and depth across six of their very best. 
   
  In this series we gather together authors whose short stories both rivet the attention and inspire the imagination to visit their gems in a series of six, to roam across an author’s legacy in a few short hours and gain a greater understanding of their writing and, of course, to be lavishly entertained by their ideas, their narrative and their way with words. 
   
  These stories can be surprising and sometimes at a tangent to what we expected, but each is fully formed and a marvellous adventure into the world and words of a literary master.
