About this ebook
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.’

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5These read like sarcastic tweets poking fun at the tropes of many fairy tales and sometimes takes the worst possible take on a story.While amusing it's also a bit repeditive.
