  • My Correct Bedtime Stories: Modern Tales for Our Life and Times is a 1994 book written by American writer James Finn Garner, in which Garner satirizes the trend toward political correctness and censorship of children's literature, with an emphasis on humour and parody. The bulk of the book consists of fairy tales such as Little Red Riding Hood, the Three Little Pigs and Snow White, rewritten so that they represent what a politically correct adult would consider a good and moral tale for children. The revisions include extensive usage of politically correct buzzwords (and parodies thereof), deliberately stiff moralizing dialogue and narration, inclusion of modern concepts and objects (such as health spas, mineral water, and automobiles), and often feature a plot twist that reverses the roles of the heroes and villains of the story (for example, the woodsman in Little Red Riding Hood is seen by Red Riding Hood not as a heroic saviour but as a "sexist" and "speciesist" interloper, and Snow White's evil stepmother ends up with a positive portrayal while the prince and the seven dwarves are portrayed as chauvinistic). Politically Correct Bedtime Stories was Garner's first published book (or, in the words of his similarly satirical biography blurb from the book, "his first processed tree carcass"). More than 2.5 million copies have been sold in the United States and it has since been translated into 20 languages. Garner wrote two follow-up books: Once upon a More Enlightened Time: More Politically Correct Bedtime Stories and Politically Correct Holiday Stories: For an Enlightened Yuletide Season, the latter book satirizing political correctness during the Christmas holiday season. In 1998, the three books were compiled into an omnibus collection called Politically Correct: The Ultimate Storybook. All editions of the Politically Correct titles are currently out of print. In 2018, Garner released "Politically Correct Pinocchio". (en)
  • 《政治正確童話》(英語:Politically Correct Bedtime Stories)是於1994年所寫的童話故事集。本書屬諷刺文學,作者說明為了不讓下一代受傳統童話的不良文化內容影響,所以將童話重寫,以符合現代的政治正確精神。 改寫後的故事裡,大量使用了政治正確的流行行話,刻意使用生硬的旁白與說教,融入許多現代的物品(如Spa、礦泉水、汽車等等),並常有大逆轉的故事發展與角色變化。舉例來說,小紅帽中的樵夫,在故事中不被視為解救小紅帽的英雄人物,而是一個性別主義與種族主義的闖入者;白雪公主中惡毒的繼母變成了正派的人物,七矮人和白馬王子則被描繪成沙文主義者。 《政治正確童話》是詹姆士‧芬‧加納出版的第一份作品,在美國已經售出超過250萬本,並翻譯成超過20種語言。加納之後也寫了兩本後續的作品Once upon a More Enlightened Time: More Politically Correct Bedtime Stories 與Politically Correct Holiday Stories: For an Enlightened Yuletide Season,,後者以同樣諷刺的口吻,描述聖誕假期中的政治正確。1998年,這三本書被彙編成文集:Politically Correct, the Ultimate Storybook.目前,這幾本書都已經絕版。 (zh)
