Review

Essential reading for adults of all ages ... the wisest, funniest, most thoughtful thing yet written on the subject of PC ― Observer

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 -- Libby Purves ― The Times

Hillary and I have been enjoying it ... it's hilarious -- Bill Clinton

A nightmarish trifle ... modern tales for our life and times ― Financial 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

Traditional tales carefully re-written to express no opinion at all ― Sunday Times

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 ― Daily Express

Extremely funny ... After one finishes this collection, 'happily ever after' will never seem quite the same ― Publishers Weekly

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 ― Washington Post

A reworking of familiar tales in non-sexist, non-patriarchal, non-judgmental language ... I did laugh aloud ― Tribune --This text refers to the hardcover edition.

Book Description

A new edition of the bestselling, witty, contemporary parody of traditional fairy tales, now with the story of 'Pinocchio' --This text refers to the hardcover edition.
