As a child, you were probably introduced to one or more classic fairy tales, fables, or nursery rhymes. Perhaps as an adult you have read to such stories to your children. But imagine the framework of such stories with far less rules where the ideas are to poke fun at just about everything, look at the stories from very different and more modern perspectives, and, most importantly, make you laugh. So, Grimmer Revisionist Fairy Tales, Fables, and Nursery Rhymes are clearly aimed at adults with a sense of humor, which perhaps is sorely needed in our times. The format of the stories in this first compendium varies considerably: the fairy takes and fables are stories while the nursery rhymes takes a form of commentary or even develops into another entirely different story. You will also find references to all kinds of politics, movies, books, and many other themes, such as quantum physics (a favorite subject of mine) that make up modern human society. These are most definitely not the worlds of your grandmother, but that is the point.
