When three teenage daughters of the 21st-century belle-monde each decide to acquire a pageboy as the latest fashion accessory, life changes drastically for the youths most closely concerned. Well-fed, well-housed and (particularly) well-dressed, the three pageboys are nevertheless also extremely welldisciplined, subject to frequent and humiliating corporal punishment at their young mistresses’ whims. What follows over the next eighteen months is a prolonged—and profound— learning experience for all concerned. With 13 original plates by Curtus.
