Fairy Tale Fan Club: Legendary Letters Collected by C.C. Cecily

This witty, sardonic series of letters to and from fairytale figures – the disillusioned Little Mermaid, a split-in-two Rumpelstiltskin, hatched-out Humpty Dumpty, and more – explores life beyond the happily ever after. It’s the 8+ answer to The Jolly Postman. ― The Guardian

Ayoade’s eccentric, oddball and often childish humour […] transfers to children’s books with aplomb […] The book is beautifully written, full of the kind of silly pedantry that Ayoade’s The IT Crowd character, Moss, would approve of. […] daft laugh-out-loud moments. ― The Big Issue

A wonderful, funny book of fairy tales with a twist, with equally fabulous illustrations by the brilliant David Roberts. ― Liz Pichon, author of the Tom Gates series

Bibliophiles will love this story from the beginning. . . . Droll sketches, rendered in pencil with bits of digital color, perfectly complement the text. Happily ever after, mortal reader! ― Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Definitely providing a public service, C. C. Cecily, senior secretary of the Fairy Tale Fan Club, has assembled a set of querulous letters from children to renowned fairy-tale characters. . . indispensable. ― Booklist (starred review)
