The Catfather

[Dana King]

About ten years ago, as a writing exercise, I wrote several fairy tales on the premise, "What if [insert famous writer's name here] had written [insert fairy tale here]?" They were a lot of fun to write, and taught me a lot about voice, both as a reader and as a writer. Last May I posted my idea of how Mickey Spillane may have written "Jack and the Beanstalk." Today's humble submission is what Mario Puzo might have done with "Puss In Boots."

Happy weekend.
