    “Happily ever after” is just the beginning as comedian-actor-author Richard Ayoade and award-winning illustrator David Roberts present a second round of fan letters to iconic fairy tale characters—and their wry responses.

    What if you could send your fairy tale idols your burning questions? Thanks to a dedicated fan club secretary, many such queries have been asked and answered in this compendium, with surprising results. Have you ever wondered why Puss in Boots wears footwear on only two of his legs (and what the heck happened to his pants)? Do you think the Beast’s evolving relationship with Beauty qualifies him to give marriage advice? What is Aladdin’s opinion of the strategy—when faced with a genie—of simply wishing for . . . more genies? How might the Ogres 4 Ogres Improvement Foundation respond to a grumpy, spiky-haired eleven-year-old who sees being called an “ogre” as a compliment? Learn the uncensored opinions of Robin Hood, Goldilocks, the Pied Piper, Tom Thumb, and several more in this witty collection of missives concocted by Richard Ayoade, cleverly illustrated by David Roberts.
    Richard Ayoade is a much-loved comedian, BAFTA-winning actor (The IT Crowd), writer, director, and TV presenter (the 2021 BAFTAs, Have I Got News for You, Travel Man) as well as a bibliophile. He regularly appears on comedy shows, was the voice of Zero in The Mandalorian, and directed the films Submarine and The Double. He has written three books on film for adults and a children’s book titled The Book That No One Wanted to Read, illustrated by Tor Freeman. Richard Ayoade lives in London.

    David Roberts is the award-winning author-illustrator of Suffragette: The Battle for Equality as well as the forthcoming We Are Your Children: A History of Queer Activism. He is the illustrator of various other titles, including His Royal Highness, King Baby by Sally Lloyd-Jones. He also illustrated the New York Times best-selling Rosie Revere, Engineer and the other books in the Questioneers series by Andrea Beaty. David Roberts lives in Liverpool, England.
