The Politically Correct gift set by James Finn Garner - HC

Description: For Sale:Boxed Gift Set ofThe Politically Correct HC - DJby James Finn GarnerBoxed set includes :1). Politically Correct Bedtime StoriesOnce upon a time, in the olden days, heavy-set middle-aged men would congregate in their elitist clubs, sit in over-stuffed leather chairs, smoke air-choking cigars, and pitch story ideas and plots to each other. Problem was, these stories, many of which found their way into the general social consciousness, reflected the way in which these men lived and saw their world: that is, the stories were sexist, discriminatory, unfair, culturally biased, and in general, demeaning to witches, animals, goblins, and fairies everywhere. Finally, after centuries of these abusive tales, which have been handed down--unknowingly--from one male-biased generation to the next, James Finn Garner has taken it upon himself (that's right, yet another man) to enlighten and liberate these classic bedtime stories and retell them in a way that is much more in keeping with the society in which we live today.2). Politically Correct Holiday Stories Whether your favorite holiday story is "A Christmas Carol", "The Story of Hanukkah", or "Twas the Night Before Christmas", you'll find it transformed to reflect current sensibilities in "Politically Correct Holiday Stories". Injecting our popular holiday fables with a modern perspective is no easy task, but someone had to do it -- and who better than the proven master of cultural sensitivity? James Finn Garner joyfully frees these holiday tales from sexism, ageism, religious imperialism, and every other sorry vestige of our flawed, low-consciousness past. So gather the family (whether traditional, dysfunctional, co-dependent, or otherwise) around the hearth, and read aloud these tales as they should have been told the first time.3).
