'Essential reading for adults of all ages . . . the wisest, funniest, most thoughtful thing yet written on the subject of PC' ObserverIn this bestselling classic, James Finn Garner has rewritten classic stories for more enlightened times; from Snow White's relationship with seven vertically challenged men, Little Red Riding Hood, her grandma and the cross-dressing wolf who set up an alternative household based on mutual respect and cooperation, to the Emperor who was not naked but was endorsing a clothing-optional lifestyle.At last, here is bedtime reading free from prejudice and discrimination of witches, giants, dwarves, goblins and fairies everywhere. For anyone brought up on sexist, racist, sizeist and ethnocentrist reading matter, James Finn Garner's stories have been purged of the influence of an insensitive cultural past to become fables for our times.

Recenzii

Essential reading for adults of all ages ... the wisest, funniest, most thoughtful thing yet written on the subject of PC
One of those works which cleave an author instantly to your heart ... It is beautiful. It demolishes, in few but elegant words, a dozen kinds of silliness
Hillary and I have been enjoying it ... it's hilarious
A nightmarish trifle ... modern tales for our life and times
The definitive, non-exploitative, non-patriarchalist (dontcha hate doing that to the kids?) ... collection of bedtime stories
Garner rewrites fairy tales ... into culturally sensitive stories, with all prejudices expunged
Traditional tales carefully re-written to express no opinion at all
Once upon a time there was a man who thought Little Red Riding Hood was a vertically-challenged but resolute young feminist ... So begins the latest version of the ancient fairy tale, brought up to date for the politically-correct Nineties
Extremely funny ... After one finishes this collection, 'happily ever after' will never seem quite the same
Finn Garner isn't a mere writer, he's a virtuoso, a necromancer, a master of the tour de force - a Hans Nonsectarian Andersen for our very own time ... On every page there is a delight
A reworking of familiar tales in non-sexist, non-patriarchal, non-judgmental language ... I did laugh aloud
