maluretteTitle: The whipping boy
Author: Sid Fleischman
Language: french translation from English
Type: children's novel
Genre: adventure
1st release:
Publisher:
Length:
(got it probably at a secondhand book fair couple of years ago with the idea of whipping boys has something homoerotic--but no not in this one)
The blurb says the author was born in Brooklyn so i doubt the depiction is historically accurate, but whatever!
Jemmy is a whipping boy to a lazy, bratty prince Horace and hopes to get fired and go back to his old life as a rat catcher. But when the prince decides to run away he gets whipped--no pun intended--into going with him.
Funny enough, but i won't keep it
"Le souffre-douleur" ; comme on ne fouette pas les princes c'est un jeune bouc émissaire qui reçoit les punitions à sa place, soi-disant que ça lui fera éprouver des remords... ouais. Jusqu'à ce qu'il fugue, en étant trop bête pour se débrouiller tout seul.
