This excellent volume was a Father's Day gift from my Texas-born elder daughter in a last-ditch bid to save her British dad from that new rung to Inferno reserved for Il Incorrectibile.
Subtitled "Modern Tales for Our Life & Times", this may not be a book I'd wrest from the fires, but I suspect it would prove a God-send to read aloud to fend off those ghastly proponents of political correctitude that are such a pain and growing stronger under the garden gnome, Bush.
A witty intro by author James Finn Garner and a generous 13 refurbs of beloved tales from Little Red Riding Hood, The Emperor's Clothing (relevant!), The Three co-dependent goats gruff, and Cinderella, to Goldilocks, Show White, The Frog Prince, and The Pied Piper.
I think there is a copy in the basement I'll have to dust off to properly educate the children.
thanks for the comment. sorry i took so long to reply. glad you'll be adding this to the education system.
