Summary: Finally, fairy tales that aren't grim
Comment: This has become my favorite volume of fairy tales ever produced! While the Brothers Grimm, Ellen Datlow and even Disney have all made gallant attempts at telling these classic morality stories, no one can hold a candle to James Finn Garner's brilliant masterpiece.
The fairytales presented in this volume include Little Red Riding Hood, The Emperor's New Clothes, The Three Little Pigs, Rumplestiltskin, The Three Codependent Goats Gruff, Rapunzel, Cinderella, Goldilocks, Snow White, Chicken Little, The Frog Prince, Jack and the Beanstalk, and the Pied Piper of Hamlin.
While all the stories are wonderful, Cinderella and the Frog Prince stand out and are my favorites. Read these two first!
While these stories are great if you just curl up and read them by yourself, they're even better when read aloud with a big group of your friends! But whatever you do, don't read these right before bedtime as the title suggests. You'll be laughing to hard to ever get to sleep.
These stories are suitable for children, but even more fun for adults. This book gets my highest recommendations.

Summary: Good but not many pages
Comment: This book takes thirteen classic fairy tales and rewrites them, showing (and warning) us what they would be like in a world corrupted by political correctness. Some are better done than others and there are some great stories as well as average ones. It's a good short book, you'll finish it in an hour or so. Other rewrites of the Grimm brothers classics which aren't dealing specifically with political correctness such as Once Upon a Crime for books and "Weird Al" Yankovic's Peter and the Wolf Compact Disc are much better quality and value for money. If this is a good price though buy it, it is a worthwhile read.

Summary: A PC Field Guide
Comment: Illustrating the absurd, using the PC crowd's own words and mindset. This is a LOL field guide for dealing with the Mothers Against McDonald's crowd and a fun read to boot!
(Remember if you have no goals in life, you can't fail at anything!)
