What do fairy tale characters do after they get their Happily Ever After? Answer fan letters, of course! With the help of C.C. Cecily, senior secretary of the Fairy Tale Fan Club, children from all over can send letters to their favorite characters in the Fairy Tale Kingdom, and if they’re lucky, maybe even hear back. In this sequel to The Fairy Tale Fan Club, Puss in Boots, Thumbelina, Goldilocks, and other famous literary characters correspond with the adoring (and not-so-adoring) public.

Packed with charm and wit, The Fairy Tale Fan Club Volume 2 is full of Ayoade’s signature British humor. The book is fast-paced, silly, often snarky and occasionally sincere with an author voice that brings to mind Lemony Snicket.

Fairy Tale fans and lovers of the first Fairy Tale Fan Club will find themselves drawn to this title, and librarians looking to expand their fairy tale collections and educators planning fairy tale units might find it useful as well. With its humor and short, quick chapters, even reluctant readers may find Ayoade’s book appealing.
