Description
Read the fanmail sent to much-loved Fairy Tale characters and their responses that reveal whether they truly did live Happily Ever After in this hilarious gift book by comedian, actor, writer, director Richard Ayoade and the globally bestselling illustrator, David Roberts.
Find out if much-loved characters did live Happily Ever After once their fairy tales reached The End...
(Spoiler: Robin Hood and Maid Marian now run an outward-bound centre, Puss in Boots now goes by P to the B and Goldie's locks are grey...)
This collection of further correspondence, put together by Secretary to the Stars of Fairy Land, C.C. Cecily, is hilariously told in Richard Ayoade's distinctively acerbic style and jauntily illustrated by David Roberts.
