This was an actual laugh. It was published in 1994, so obvious written by a time traveller who saw into the future.

Maravillosa vuelta de tuerca de unos cuantos cuentos clásicos (Caperucita roja, el traje nuevo del emperador, los tres cerditos, Rapunzel, Cenicienta...) pasados por el tamiz de lo políticamente correcto. La gran maravilla de este libro es que es una parodia feroz y al mismo tiempo puede pasar, hoy en día, por una revisión actualizada que haría cualquier departamento de estudios de género, por ejemplo.

Érase una vez una persona de corta edad llamada Caperucita Roja que vivía con su madre en la linde de un ecosistema boscoso. Un día, su madre le pidió que llevase una cesta con fruta fresca y agua mineral a su abuela, pero no porque lo considerase una labor propia de mujeres, atención, sino porque aquello representaba un acto generoso que contribuía a reforzar la sensación de comunidad.


La lectura de cada uno de ellos tiene alguna carcajada oculta, y el autor consigue no repetir tropos y salir de cada cuento por una vía distinta. Es una lectura divertidísima.

This book is HILARIOUS! Garner takes the Brother Grimm's fairy tales and gives them a satirical twist that will be sure to have you laughing out loud. I read this book in one sitting and absolutely adored it! Although this book is definitely not suitable for kids, most teenagers should be able to understand and enjoy the humour in these stories. Cinderella was definitely my favourite of all the re-tellings!
