No, not that gay. The older meaning of the word gay. You know, like Gay Paree.
Though, I'm not entirely sure if that is the correct meaning of the word here either.
Carryl takes several well know tales, drawing from Grimm, Andersen, and Arabian Nights, and retells them in a rather funny if saticial way.
For instance, Beauty and the Beast ends far differently than you would think. Though I liked it. His Little Red Riding Hood is equally as funny. Some of the stories are misses, for instance his retelling of Aladdin, which is very politcally incorret by today's standards.
