What is the name of the fairy tale books with books in clothing?


The books were picture books of classic fairy tales but the pictures were photography of dogs in human clothing and doing human things. I think the dogs were chocolate Labradors.

William Wegman photographs Weimaraners in wigs and costumes. Fay’s Fairy Tales - one book is Cinderella and another is Little Red Riding Hood

With his signature humorous, surreal photographs of weimaraners, the creator of Man’s Best Friend glibly retells a much-loved story. Wegman poses his canine models in minimal sets; the dogs’ heads pop out of kitschy gowns and campy wigs, while human hands rather than paws project from the clothing. (In one scene a character extends a human foot with garish red toenails to try on the glass slipper.) The unkind stepmother, wearing a disheveled black wig, intimidates readers with a cold gaze; more winsome are Cinderella, exhibiting a shy dignity, and the prince, who wears a beseeching expression. Wegman even finds six liver-colored puppies to act as “coach horses” for Cinderella’s carriage.

Arriving on the tails of Cinderella , the second of Fay’s Fairy Tales continues to feature photographer Wegman’s famously photogenic weimaraners, but, unlike the previous book, reflects a predominantly adult sensibility. Wegman experiments more here, trying different camera angles, shooting his dressed-up dogs outdoors as well as inside, and achieving a depth of field that recalls the tableaux of old Viewmaster toys. Campiness is the order of the day: for example, an obviously fake stag’s head intrudes into one picture of a caped Red Riding Hood carrying goodies through the forest; ” ‘Look, a deer. It has antlers. It must be a stag. Hello, stag,’ she whispered to herself so as not to startle it” reads the facing text
