Praise
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)
Ayoade’s clever phrasing and epistolary structure prove both sturdy and irresistible, and pen illustrations by Roberts, rendered in precise, fine lines and intricate cross-hatching, provide wry visual asides throughout.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
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
Ayoade and Roberts’s combined talents are the best thing since that one guy with chocolate ran into that other guy with peanut butter and made the world a much better place in the process. A delight!
—Andrea Beaty, author of the New York Times best-selling Questioneers books
British comedian Richard Ayoade puts a wonderfully silly spin on familiar stories. . . . Loads of witty illustrations by David Roberts add to the fun. My middle grade reader devoured this one faster than a wolf gobbling up a granny.
