Gay Fairy & Folk Tales: More Traditional Stories Retold for Gay Men

Rating:
Summary: Once upon a time, to tell your lover for a goodnight.
Review: Cashorali takes the old well known tales and shifts them the little to the pink side and makes them a little treasure, so close to gay men's lives they never were. Sometimes simple, sometimes touching, but always with that deep, eternal wisdom the original tales had as well. With "the Queer Garment", a remake of "the emperors new clothing", he adds a refined ending to the plot and it seems as if he tells the true story, one Hans Christian Andersen never dared to tell.

Summary: Nice to hear gay themes in fairy tales
Review: I liked this book. I've always had an interest in fairy tales and the different ways that various cultures tell the same stories.

What made this book nice is that it re-told the fairy tales that you heard as a child using gay characters, so that you actually felt like the stories were about you. However, some of the stories were completely new to me -- I had never heard of them.

I especially liked "The Ugly Duckling."
