Book description
James Finn Garner has taken the opportunity to rewrite 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.
For the first time read the true story of what happened when the
Ugly Duckling was judged on its personal merits and not on its
physical appearance.
At last, here is bedtime reading free from prejudice and
discrimination to witches, giants, dwarves, goblins and fairies
everywhere. You can remedy this cultural defect by reading Politically
Correct Bedtime Stories and discovering what really happened when Jack
climbed the beanstalk, when Cinderella went to the ball and when the
wolf tried to blow down the house of the Three Little Pigs.
For anyone brought up on sexist, racist, sizeist and ethnocentrist
reading matter these stories have been purged of the influence of an
insensitive cultural past to become fables for our times.
