Sarcasm, Idiocy, Screwed Up Plot Lines...and other fairly Stupid Tales.This is a modern take on fairy tales that (according to Amazon.com) would have Mother Goose rolling over in her grave. There are no lessons to be learned here. Just silly sarcastic rips on the classics. This book is a lesson in breaking down the stereotypes of classic literature. Recommended for class clowns and readers who are tired of the same old happily ever after.
If you want to protect the oral tradition of story-telling...
Take these stories and pass them on!
