Description
Once upon a time, in a land far away (in fact, in an entirely different tax bracket), there lived some perfectly privileged children...
In Fairytales for Privileged Children: Little Red Riding Hood Blows Her Trust Fund and Other Premium Tales, author and comedian Daniel Foxx reworks classic fairytales to suit only the most comfortable of tots. Meet: Rapunzel, whose stay in a boutique tower-concept hotel is just the ticket. Aspiring gourmand Jack, who sensibly exchanges his cow for a handful of 100% organic legumes. The two ugly stepsisters, Porchetta and Frankette, whose deep-plane facelifts yield excellent results. And The Three Little Pigs, whose property portfolio is - quite frankly - booming.
Wickedly funny and razor-sharp, Daniel Foxx's enchanted stories make for perfect fireside reading this Autumn - just be sure the household staff don't pinch it for themselves!
