The Princess and the Prick

De: Walburga Appleseed

Narrado por: Olivia Forrest

The Princess and the Prick is a feminist humour and gift book for adults.

May I kiss you, he said.
She didn't answer. She was asleep.
So he kissed her anyway.
SLEEPING BEAUTY

Revisit childhood classics, but not as you remember them. Familiar fables are turned on their heads as your beloved heroines finally have their say.

Think Ladybird for Adults or Enid Blyton spoofs; The Princess and the Prick flips fairy tales, nursery rhymes and children’s books on their head. Retold through a feminist lens as one liners, verses and rhyming couplets, and highlighting the sexism endemic in stories we grew up with, these classic tales will never be the same again…

‘I hate this book. It makes me look like a right prick.’
Prince Charming

‘A real wake-up call.’

Reseñas de la Crítica

"This is brilliant. I lost my morning to reading it." (Catherine Mayer)

Short, Sweet & to the Point

Breaks down what is problematic in several children's books, movies, nursery rhymes...in seconds. I was familiar with most of the titles, but not all. Appreciated the humor.
