"Grimm Tales Made Gay" by Guy Wetmore Carryl is a collection of humorous adaptations of classic Grimm fairy tales, written in the early 20th century. This book showcases Carryl's playful reinterpretation of well-known stories, employing a lighthearted and satirical tone. The author crafts verses that provide a modern twist to tales like "Cinderella," "Little Red Riding Hood," and "Rumpelstiltskin," making it an engaging read for those who appreciate clever and whimsical poetry. Within this collection, each tale is told through witty rhymes and acute observations, exploring themes of virtue, folly, and the quirks of human nature. Carryl's narratives often include humorous morals that satirize the original stories and the human condition. For instance, in a retelling of "Cinderella," the character outshines her vain sisters, only to end up marrying a prince for her beauty rather than her intelligence. Each tale is a stand-alone poem, revealing absurdities and truths about the original characters while inviting readers to reflect on the timeless nature of their messages through a lens of comedy and satire.
