Have you ever wondered about the famous characters in the fairy tales you heard as a young child?

Did you ever wonder how Little Red Riding and her grandmother were swallowed whole then rescued whole again as they went down the wolf’s throat?

Have you ever wondered why The Little Mermaid wanted to live on land when she had everything at her flipper tips in the ocean?

What about Humpty Dumpty? Is he an egg or is he a human. Or maybe a human egg?

Young children have wondered all of these things and have so many more questions for those of fairy tale fame. Princesses, Princes, Frogs and Wolves are questioned about their motives, behaviour and strange decisions.

CC Cecily – (Senior Secretary of the Fairytale Fan Club), has compiled the best letters from over the years that question these conundrums. (Due to her well-known administrative mastery, CC Cecily obtained this important position many years before.)

Read the originating letter from a child, and then the response from the corresponding characters. Maybe some of your questions will be answered too….

This collection of letters between famous Fairy Tale characters and inquisitive children is clever and funny. An introduction from the very important and majestically administrative CC Cecily explains who she is, how she got such as important position and where you can send your own Fairytale questions.

Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and Cinderella star in this correspondence, along with Prince Charming, Pinocchio and a Frog sticking up for frogs and toads everywhere.

Great for a Fairytale shelf collection, or for any one who likes a laugh.
