Synopsis:
This is an original and humorous adaptation of classic bedtime stories to reflect more enlightened times. Garner removes any and all types of bias from these traditionally offensive tales and attempts to develop meaningful literature free from the influences of a flawed cultural past.
Review:
"Garner's droll reworking of favourite fairy stories." -- 'Time Out'
"It is one of those works which cleave an author instantly to your heart...
It is beautiful." -- 'The Times'
"The definitive, non-exploitative, non-patriarchalist (dontcha hate doing
that to the kids?) ... collection of bedtime stories." -- 'Daily Telegraph'
"Garner rewrites fairy tales... into culturally sensitive stories,
with all prejudices expunged." -- 'Daily Mail'
"Not only essential reading for adults of all ages, but is also
the wisest, funniest, most thoughtful thing."
-- 'The Observer'
It's hard to believe that James Finn Garner could improve upon perfection - but he has. -- Hans Christian Andersen
These stories are fables for our times. -- Aesop
We were fighting between ourselves to see who would read it first. -- The Brothers Grimm
