Louise C, one of my favourite writers on the subject of corporal punishment, has written an excellent in-depth review of ‘Thy Rod and Staff’, a book mentioned several times on this forum. Comments from the book’s author, Edward Anthony, also appear on the page:

I believe the book is now out of print, but second hand copies are available through Amazon.

The review by Louise is super.

Very sadly, Edward Antony died 18 months ago. He was an extremely talented writer and used several pen names. He also achieved fame in other areas, including mainstream publishing (he once had two books in the US top ten bestsellers list); rock music; and journalism, as the editor of a well-known national publication. He was also the most interesting and knowledgeable guy we have ever met. He is sorely missed.
