Award winning comedian, podcaster (Welcome To Hell) and writer Daniel Foxx has written a second book full of very tongue in cheek, modern takes on fairy tales aimed at 'perfectly privileged children'
About the book:
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!
PRAISE FOR BEDTIME STORIES FOR PRIVILEGED CHILDREN 'If Succession was turned into a series of Ladybird books' - THE TIMES 'A terribly funny book from an absolutely disgraceful person' -JOE LYCETT 'Daniel's writing is hilarious, although it makes me worry about how I'm bringing my children up' - JOSH WIDDICOMBE 'Finally! Some stories to shut those little brats up who disturb me at brunch!' -TOM ALLEN
