Roger Hargreaves wrote a series of children's books that may sound familiar to your ears: Mr. Happy, Mr. Greedy, Mr. Messy and Mr. Topsy-Turvy. He wrote a series of books for girls, as well. They are stories designed to teach children about a world that is upside down.

Mr. Topsy-Turvy does everything backwards and when he visits a town he causes chaos among the people, leaving the negative effects of his upside down ways to linger with the town's people, even after they threw him out.

If one is comfortable and enjoys the injustice of a topsy-turvy world, one would go to great lengths to push away the new wine because they want the old. Only in an upside down world would avarice be sold as holy righteousness.
