A review by yangyvonne
Legally Correct Fairy Tales by David Fisher
4.0
Your favorite Brothers Grimm tales told in legalese! Snow White becomes an EEOC charge; Jack and Jill sue in product liability and Hansel and Gretel undergo a psych analysis for the murder of the witch.
This book is entertaining on so many levels. The stories work on a basic translation into legalese, on a making fun of the profession level, and a "current events" type of innuendo level. The best story has to be the Johnny Cochrane-esque closing argument in defense of Goldilocks. Equally amusing are the deposition of the Big Bad Wolf and the suit by the children of the Old Lady in the shoe.
