FAIRY-LAND EXCLUSIVE! Discover THE TRUTH about your favourite fairy-tale characters in Richard Ayoade's second children's book.

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

Read about the real lives of fairy-tale characters in this exclusive collection of letters between curious kids and their fairy-tale idols.

What are they doing now? Was it really Happily Ever After? Is the Big Bad Wolf actually that bad? When will Sleeping Beauty get out of bed? And what makes frogs so kissable?

Only one man has the answers, direct from the ACTUAL LEGENDS themselves: meet C.C. Cecily, Senior Secretary of the Fairy Tale Fan Club.

BAFTA-winning comedian, actor/director and presenter Richard Ayoade brings his trademark comic genius to Fairy Tale Land.

"Funny, bonkers and brilliant." Stylist
"Richard Ayoade is one of the funniest people ever to write a book." Greg Jenner

Rezensionen
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
