Following the international best-seller Politically Correct Bedtime Stories comes Once Upon a More Enlightened Time, a new collection of nurturing and correct stories for pre-adults. These tales by James Finn Garner attempt to purge the cultural biases, sexism, lookism, speciesism, and other insidious -isms from the “classic” bedtime stories that have been handed down from one social power structure to another. A better world starts with better bedtime stories – and these stories made the New York Times best-seller list.

From the Little Mer-Persun protecting her unique evolutionary niche, to Hansel and Gretel becoming eco-terrorists to defend their forest home, these recast tales should inspire a new generation of right-thinking people to make the world a better place for persuns, non-persuns, animals, pixies, and talking mirrors of all backgrounds.

As a bonus, this new electronic version also contains previously unpublished material: a full-length PC novella version of “Pinocchio” that was excised from the original edition, and the second chapter of James Finn Garner’s latest work, Honk Honk, My Darling: A Rex Koko, Private Clown Mystery.

'Mais contos de fadas' traz novas histórias sob a ótica moderna do politicamente correto, e, por isso mesmo, hilário; O Gato de Botas, João e Maria, A Cigarra e a Formiga, e muitas outras. Traduzido por Bernardo e Maria Clara Jablonski, Garner mostra que preconceitos e virtudes podem significar diversão garantida.
