Overview: Who’s afraid of the truth?
Is it you?
Are you the one who can’t handle the fact Jack and the Beanstalk is less about an innocent boy who stumbles across some magic beans and more about the cold manipulation of a dupe who quickly progresses from burglary to outright murder?
Or are you the one who upon hearing “and they all lived happily ever after” puts up your hand to point out that the villain was merely defending himself and were this to be brought up in a court of law he would easily come out with a large settlement and a restraining order against the questionable hero in question?
Cynical Tales for Cynical Children is a collection of exhaustively researched investigations which proves that even in the innocent world of stories for children it is all too easy to come away with blood on your hands.
It is time, therefore, for the fairy stories to be brought into the harsh light of the investigative eye where all of their “Once upon a time” and so called “Happily ever afters” may be examined.
This book confirms that it is all right to have doubts about things and it is likewise perfectly fine to become deeply suspicious whenever someone presents you a story neatly wrapped in a bow and says “Trust me”
