Bedtime Stories for Privileged Children cover

This collection offers humorous tales about affluent children experiencing life’s absurdities, making Bedtime Stories for Privileged Children a delightful read for both kids and adults.

In Bedtime Stories for Privileged Children, comedian Daniel Foxx invites readers into a whimsical world tailored for the elite, where humor meets the absurdity of privilege. The stories follow the lives of Rupert, Shallotte, and Genevievette, three children navigating their extravagant existence filled with skiing trips, luxurious holidays, and shopping sprees at Selfridges. With a satirical twist, Foxx paints a picture of a lifestyle far removed from the ordinary, showcasing the hilarity and challenges of growing up in affluence.

Each tale is infused with wit, as Foxx explores the peculiarities of the privileged class. From Rupert's bewilderment at the concept of 'duty free' to Cosmo's experiences in a state school, where the teachers are dressed casually and Latin is a mystery, the stories highlight the contrasts between the wealthy and the everyday. These narratives are not only entertaining for children but also provide a chuckle for adults who may find themselves reflecting on the absurdities of their own lives.

Bedtime Stories for Privileged Children serves as a humorous commentary on social class, making it an ideal gift for the holiday season. Whether you're enjoying a winter retreat in Aspen or simply trying to keep the kids entertained during a long drive, this collection promises laughter and amusement for all ages, though it does contain adult language that adds to its charm.
