C.C. Cecily, Senior Secretary to the Fairy Tale Fan Club, has here compiled fan mail and responses between readers and famous fairy tale characters. The Big Bad Wolf gives his side to the story; Sleeping Beauty quashes rumors about her general boringness; Pinocchio considers the ups and downs of his transformation from puppet to boy, and more.

Amusing and charmingly illustrated, this book would be a fun addition to any collection. Younger middle grade patrons, particularly reluctant readers looking for short, humorous vignettes, will surely enjoy the silliness of these “legendary letters.”
