The Fairy Tale Fan Club

Summary

What if you could send fan mail to your fairy tale idols? And what if they wrote back? “Happily ever after” takes
on a new meaning in this book from actor-comedian-author Richard Ayoade and best-selling illustrator David
Roberts. It’s once upon a time . . . as only the irreverently witty Richard Ayoade can tell it. In this series of letters
organized by C. C. Cecily, Senior Secretary of the Fairy Tale Fan Club, the fairest of them all (and a few bitter
foes) correspond with curious—and opinionated—fans. So if you’ve ever wondered how a less-than-genius
(and less-than-clothed) emperor fell for a certain con, how the Big Bad Wolf is handling meatless Mondays, or
whether Rapunzel recommends going for the big chop, no need to look far, far away. Multihyphenate Richard
Ayoade, author of The Book That No One Wanted to Read, hilariously imagines what questions modern children
would have for characters such as Sleeping Beauty, Prince Charming, and Little Red Riding Hood—and what
they might have to say in return. Complete with clever, spoof-gothic illustrations from David Roberts, this wry
storybook may have even the Brothers Grimm cackling in their graves.
