Once Upon A More Enlightened Time: James Finn Garner

Well, one can't be too careful about political correctness these days - Heaven forfend that we should get it wrong! So Garner has put together a neat little book of politically correct fables which include such versions of old favourites, such as The Little Mer-persun and Sleeping Persun of Better-Than-Average-Attractiveness - not to mention a few rewrites...Hansel and Gretel find a wondrous cottage made of carob brownies, sugarless gingerbread and carrot cake, where dwells a Wiccan who - far from eating them - teaches them about the Earth Mother and herbal remedies, and who encourages them in eco-action vandalism of heavy plant machinery. NOT for the little ones - this is a grown-up's book! Cover art by Carter Goodrich.
