5.0 out of 5 stars
Pure joy - a brilliant parody, illustrated by Bill Tidy,
This review is from: Fairy tale (Hardcover)
"Once upon a time", reads the blurb, "a Young and Innocent Hero set forth on a Quest. It led him to the lair of a wicked Villain, the sort of man from whom you wouldn't buy a used car. And yet Our Hero did buy a used car - and he lived happily ever after. Which is why this is a fairy tale."This 'Jack and the Beanstalk' story involving a used car dealer and a tree that grows money combines the witty illustrations of Bill Tidy and the perfect timing of Erich Segal. I laughed aloud and read it again. And again. And so after the villain is arrested for trying to pass off eight dollar bills with the portrait of William Jennings Bryan, who we learn `never even got to be president', justice triumphs as it sometimes can. And they all live happily ever after. "Or at least they lived happily from that time till this time, which means from long ago to only yesterday. Heck no-one can predict the joys to come." If you buy this book, I predict much joy and some laughter to come.
