I suppose that as a kid my favorite books of this kind were a series of relatively short history books written about the childhoods of famous people. While the books were historically accurate they were written on, I suppose, a 5th or 6th grade level and in narrative fashion so as to be of interest to kids. Also, other than some very brief coverage to explain who the famous person was and what they did, the books spent very little time and space, relatively speaking, on their famous deeds and adult life. They pretty much told the story of their growing up. And there were quite a few of these books. I'm thinking 30 or more! They covered a lot of people.

While not every book featured or mentioned a spanking, quite a few of them did. Enough so that I made a point of trying to get my hands on every one that I could. I grew up in the sticks of rural Kentucky and there wasn't a library of any size even close to my house. I was mostly dependant on the weekly bookmobile run to my small post office (which was within walking distance), where they would drop off a few books on the shelf for the postmaster to check in and out. (To give you an idea of how "country" I grew up, this post office had oiled wooden floors and a potbelly stove for heat.) Every Wednesday I would scoot down to the post office the first thing after school to see if the bookmobile had run, and if it had to see if it had dropped off one of these books. If so, I immediately checked it out and went slowly strolling back home, with my nose in the book, reading away. And, of course, if there was a spanking I read and re-read and re-read and re-read it. I would absorb the whole character of the person so that I could better put the situation into a more real life context. And later, if the book reappeared back on the shelf it was instantly checked out again for a reprise of the spanking.

I was a voracious reader as a kid, consuming several books a week, and didn't need this little item to fuel my reading. But today I am an absolute history nut, and do wonder if it somehow subconsciously facilitated my avid interest in history. In any case, it certainly fanned the flames (pun intended) of a budding interest in our favorite kink.
