Fairytales for Privileged Children

£14.99

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’, 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. Meet aspiring gourmand Jack, who sensibly exchanges his cow for a handful of 100% organic legumes. Meet the two ugly stepsisters, Porchetta and Frankette, whose deep-plane facelifts yield excellent results. And meet the Three Little Pigs, whose property portfolio is – quite frankly – booming.
