Family Briefs 1 – Short Stories of Spanking families in 1966

The story starts in 1941 with the book series: “The Girls Left Behind,” where three families manage to get through the war by supporting each other and bringing up many fine children. The story continues in the series “Knicker Bottom Story,” set in 1958, and now we have moved to 1966 and Granny Farmer’s nintieth birthday party, which is being held at the Slapping Waves Guesthouse. There is no need to read the first two sets of books to enjoy this one.

The setting for the first two books in the series is the Slapping Waves Guesthouse, run by Pamela Remington and Christine Turner. They were brought up together and are now partners in business and in bed. The other characters you will meet in this series are listed below:
