A short nice read: “Politically Correct Bedtime Stories”

I just came across this book of stories. A very clever idea!

Rewriting the fairy tales with a “politically correct” style! Makes it very funny.

“Red Riding Hood screamed, not out of alarm at the wolf’s apparent tendency toward cross-dressing, but because of his willful invasion of her personal space.”
James Finn Garner, Politically Correct Bedtime Stories

“The wolf said, “You know, my dear, it isn’t safe for a little girl to walk through these woods alone.”

Red Riding Hood said, “I find your sexist remark offensive in the extreme, but I will ignore it because of your traditional status as an outcast from society, the stress of which has caused you to develop your own, entirely valid, worldview. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I must be on my way.”
James Finn Garner, Politically Correct Bedtime Stories
