Fractured Frazzled Folk Fables and Fairy Farces is adult literature that satirizes classic childrenÂ’s folk tales, fables and fairy tales into more mature presentations featuring adult language, content and humor. Author Jay Dubya goes right to work retelling Aesops Fables into A Sap’s Fables. Adult renditions of “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse, The Boy Who Cried Wolf, The Wind and the Sun, A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing, The Lion and the Mouse, “The Crow and the Pitcher, and The Rabbit and the Turtle are all cleverly portrayed. Other famous fables rewritten into adult accounts are The Fox and the Crow, The Goose That Laid the Golden Egg, The Grasshopper and the Ants, The Lark and Its Offspring, The Miller, His Son and the Jackass, Belling the Cat and finally The Dog, the Fox and the Stream. Folk and Fairy Tales from England, France, Germany and Russia are also imaginatively assaulted and converted into adult-oriented stories. Jay Dubya thoroughly corrupts The Three Little Piglet Brothers, The Flashing Elves,“The Golden Goose’s Goosing Curse, The Notorious Sleeping Beauty and Petite Red Riding Hood. Other classic stories that are not saved from degeneration are Jack’s Magnificent Beanstalk,Hansel and Gretel Dumkoff,Little Ebony Sambo,” Rapunzel’s Draping Hair and Tom Thumb’s History. Finally, the author completely corrupts into adult parody rewrites Peter W. and the Wolf, The Rumpelstiltskin No-Spin Zone, Beauty and the Beastly Beast, Cinderella’s Fella and the classic folktale Flaky Snow White and the Seven Midgdwarfs. Fractured Frazzled Folk Fables and Fairy Farces is Jay Dubya’s twenty-first book. This book is definitely not written for or to be read by children. |
