Query: where oh where was this book when i was a tyke?

it is funny and it is moving and it is profound.the retelling of these traditional stories from a gay vantage point is nothing short of brilliant. some of them, like "beauty and the beast" will stay with me forever.i have sat and read passages aloud over the phone to friends, and everyone seems to agree this is a classic book.and the sequel (still not in paperback, god knows why!) is just as good.if you are a gay man with a sense of humor, and a need to understand where and how you fit in, cashorali's book is for you. and it makes a great gift!
