Fairy Tales for the Cynic

By Michael Trelissic

Fairy Tales for the Cynic is very often amusing, sometimes light hearted and sometimes downright dark. It rewrites some of our favourite Fairy Tales, which we know so well from our childhood, with a cynical pen based on life’s experience and reading newspapers.
The introduction contains a warning not to read if you wish to preserve your childhood memories of these tales. But if you think you can take it, enjoy.

Michael Trelissic

Michael Trelissic was born in 1946; a year after the war in Europe had ended. Brought up in the industrial north of England by his widowed mother and his beloved grandmother his childhood was a happy one. His playgrounds were the chemical dumps and contaminated fields but his imaginations transformed them into the much fabled green and pleasant lands of England. He wrote from an early age and although his work was not of the classical literature kind it was always interesting and thought provoking, often with hidden meanings.
