The classic humour book that takes the opportunity to rethink classic stories for more enlightened times and to provide bedtime reading for children, free of prejudice against witches, dwarfs, giants or fairies.
These hilarious adaptations of classic bedtime stories satirise the modern proclivity to all sexist, racist, culturist, nationalist, ageist, sizeist, ethnocentrist and phallocentrist bias and reflect a more enlightened sensibility. Fourteen timeles fairy tales are purged of the influence of a flawed and insensitive cultural past to become tales that are fables for modern times.
