Eleanor Coxworth, a wildly wealthy and wacky widow, blossoms after a two-year mourning period enforced by her philandering ex-husband€s family. A lovable and laughable lady, she is too rich to worry about what others think of her eccentric ideas. From her grand home on semitropical Hesperides Island, where she lives atop Acropolis Hill in an imposing replica of the Parthenon known as The Cottage, Mrs. Coxworth bursts onto the scholastic scene by introducing a modern version of ancient Rome where underprivileged honor students will be offered the opportunity to further their education at no cost to their struggling families.
Pupils lucky enough to receive an invitation to Coxworth Academy, which includes exact copies of the Pantheon, the Colosseum, and Circus Maximus, will receive a classical educational in the arts, culture, etiquette, science, and especially athletics, where male students will compete without clothing in the tradition of ancient Greco-Roman Olympians. Assisting eccentric Eleanor in her ambitious endeavors will be her new Principal, a serious but secretly salacious spinster named Madeline Finky; her Private Secretary, lovely Trinity Harts; and Mrs. Coxworth€s bodybuilding gladiator of a Personal Servant she calls Sextus. 'Coxworth Academy' is the first in a series of sexy monthly installments intended for adults only.
