Review by Kim Heimbuch
When I first read the cover, “Fairy Tales for the Mature,” I was thinking more along the lines of adult content such as violence, sexual content, drugs etc. However, I was surprisingly wrong. Author Sue Moorhouse takes all of the quintessential tales from our childhood and delightfully molds them into their own farcical story from an adults perspective.
Fairy Godmothers living in care homes with dementia, old sour goats picking on the kids all while calling them troublemakers despite instigating all confrontations, and a Big Bad Wolf who takes working for the government a little to far are just a few of the stories you will encounter in this short read. Moorehouse delivers a witty and fresh perspective from an array of supporting characters, breathing new life into our beloved stories from the past. Each story finds you questioning what if the tales we have known and loved our entire lives were entirely one sided or seen differently through the eyes of another?
While this is a very quick read at right around 100 pages, you won’t be able to put it down and will be a book highly recommended and enjoyed by all who pick it up.
