"Rosalind Erskine" is a pen name for the British writer Roger Erskine Longrigg. He also wrote under the names Laura Black, Ivor Drummond, Frank Parrish; Megan Barker and Grania Beckford. This is a dated look of teen-agers trying to learn about their sexuality. The girls have decided the boys need help to get over their hesitancy, fear, and diffidence. They set up a bordello in their boarding school. What a difference 60 years make in societal mores. The story is dated and very innocent. Even the students are innocent compared to today's mores and writing. I found it interesting. I also laughed as the students were negotiating what acts and how much. I chuckled throughout the story at their innocence. An excerpt from this cropped up in 'The Dirty Bits for Girls' and, since I'd never heard of it, I was curious enough to hunt down a copy. It's the tale of a little clique of posh and rather unpleasant boarding school girls who decide, for no particular reason, to set up a bordello in the gym. And why not, indeed. This would all be well enough if it had been written by a young woman, but the fact that 'Rosaline Erskine' was actually a middle-aged man makes it all a bit iffy. Still, the public school voices are pitch-perfect. This book was funny! Saw it at a yard sale, didn't know anything about it or the author, picked it up, started reading, was very entertained! Lent it to my sister, who lost it! I've yet to get another copy but will someday (it can be bought on the Internet).

This is the amusing and pointed tale of the goings-on in an exclusive English girl's boarding school. Amongst the many extra-curricular activities offered are a strip-club and bordello for the benefit of the needy pupils at a nearby boy's school where, despite their backgrounds and moneyed parentage, some may have lead a deprived existence. The 'Passion Flower Hotel' is the crazy house of ill repute where the hockey captain finds romance; there are adventures galore; and all in the cause of allowing the reader to enjoy and appreciate Roger Longrigg's supreme wit and storytelling.
