Does anyone else remember the author Will Henry? I first came across his books in the'70s; Titles like SPANKING TODAY, SPANKING STEWARDESSES, TEENAGE SPANKING, MODERN SPANKING, etc… Anyone else remember reading these publications?

I don't remember him, but I know a shop that might have his books and I'm hoping to go there soon.

No I do not remember those books

I read once that Will Henry was a university professor at a small university on the Canadian prairies in Brandon Manitoba. I forget where I saw this but at the time it seemed to be a reputable source. I remember the town name as I live some 750 miles south and had recently driven through on my way along the TransCanada Highway stopping there overnight.

The Link to Modern Spanking (below) had a short bio about Will Henry:

"Also wrote westerns as Will Henry. Henry Wilson Allen (September 12, 1912 – October 26, 1991) was an American author and screenwriter. He used several different pseudonyms for his works. His 50+ novels of the American West were published under the pen names Will Henry and Clay Fisher. Allen's screenplays and scripts for animated shorts were credited to Heck Allen and Henry Allen. Allen's career as a novelist began in 1952, with the publication of his first Western No Survivors. Allen, afraid that the studio would disapprove of his moonlighting, used a pen-name to avoid trouble.[3] He would go on to publish over 50 novels, eight of which were adapted for the screen. Most of these were published under one or the other of the pseudonyms Will Henry and Clay Fisher. Allen was a five-time winner of the Spur Award from the Western Writers of America and a recipient of the Levi Strauss Award for lifetime achievement.

Henry Wilson Allen was born in Kansas City, Missouri. Allen died of pneumonia on October 26, 1991 in Van Nuys, California. He was 79. (less)"

The following link lists most of his Western works - but also has “Spanking Today” listed.

Apparently that is only a pseudonym as I found the following:

Novelist Henry Wilson Allen wrote more than 50 novels under the pseudonyms of Will Henry and Clay Fisher. He held a variety of jobs before becoming an author including a gold miner, blacksmith, house mover, sugar mill worker, and newspaper columnist. He called himself "a man born into the wrong century," and his work shows his fascination with the history and people of the nineteenth-century American West. Whether he is writing about Jesse James as a psychotic gunman in Death of a Legend (1954), Native Americans in From Where the Sun Now Stands (1960), or the explorers Lewis and Clark in Gates of the Mountains (1963), his careful historical research is evident. He often uses such devices as the alleged discovery of old diaries or family papers to make the reader think that the book is history rather than fiction, as in No Survivors (1950). His books are solidly crafted and always of high quality. He died of pneumonia in 1991 at the age of 79.

@ Chris Parker — thanks for the links.

Kind of you to take the time to do this.

Will Henry, the pen name of Henry Wilson Allen, remains a memorable figure in the realm of Western literature. Known for his vivid storytelling and rich character development, Henry's works captured the essence of the American frontier. His novels often depicted the rugged landscapes, complex relationships, and moral dilemmas characteristic of the Wild West. Readers were drawn to his authentic portrayals of cowboys, outlaws, and Native Americans, which brought the era to life with remarkable detail. Despite the passage of time, Henry's stories continue to resonate with audiences, serving as timeless reminders of the untamed spirit that defined an era in American history.

My first introduction to spanking literature was a men's magazine called Mr. This was in the early to mid 70's. Although Mr. wasn't specifically a magazine dedicated to the subject of spanking, there were often several spanking letters which appeared in the letters to the editor at the front of the magazine. I can't recall how I even discovered this but once I did I couldn't wait for next months issue to appear. The magazine died out in the late 80's. It wasn't until many years later that I learned that these spanking letters were written by Will Henry. At the time I certainly believed these were all true accounts written mainly by either parents who disciplined their teens or teenage girls receiving the spankings. There were a few stories that really caught my attention. For example, there was one written by a sixteen-year-old teenage girl who was sent to her uncle for discipline. Her parents recognized that she needed discipline but were not able to do it themselves. So the mother's brother stepped in. When discipline was needed, the daughter reported to her uncle.

For serious offenses, she was required to remove all clothing and place herself on top of an antique table he had in his study. Once she was fully nude and in position on the table, he would bring out a two tailed leather strap which was kept well oiled. He would then administer the strap to the girls bare buttocks until he felt the punishment was sufficient. The girl recalled that during one of these disciplinary sessions, her uncle had a friend staying with him. As she was being disciplined on the table she turned her head towards the door of the room only to see the friend peering in watching the punishment. The girl was terribly embarrassed and ashamed. The friend was ushered away, the door was closed and the discipline continued until the uncle felt the punishment was adaquet. There were many such stories written to Mr. over several decades. Each story also ended with the so-called author's initials along with the state they were from.

An additional note regarding Will Henry's stories appearing in Mr. You would also often find comments written about previous letters. For example I often would see letters starting off like this. Dear Mr. I would like to comment on the letter submitted by J.D. of Ohio appearing in your July issue regarding the teenage girl who was disciplined by her uncle. I can only imagine the extreme embarrassment she must have felt when she discovered her uncle's friend peering in the private study as she was being disciplined. I certainly hope that friend was given a serious scolding and perhaps even further, informed that he was no longer welcome. That he would invade the privacy of such a personal and intimate event is just beyond me. I also hold her uncle responsible for not being sure the door to his study was closed and secured before beginning the punishment. I certainly feel badly for J.D. and I hope she has been able to recover from this very unfortunate circumstance.

Sincerly,

M.P. California
