Review This witty, sardonic series of letters to and from fairytale figures – the disillusioned Little Mermaid, a split-in-two Rumpelstiltskin, hatched-out Humpty Dumpty, and more – explores life beyond the happily ever after. Its the 8+ answer to The Jolly Postman. * The Guardian *"A wonderful funny book of fairy tales with a twist with equally fabulous illustrations by the brilliant David Roberts." -- Liz Pichon, author of Tom Gates * Liz Pichon *In addition to the text there are a number of textured, sometimes finely detailed sketches as well as vignettes preceding each epistolary exchange; a perfect complement provided by David Roberts. Altogether a very clever, tongue-in-cheek compilation that will appeal to book lovers especially those like me with a penchant for traditional tales. * Red Reading Hub *Children in Year 4 upwards will enjoy both the bonkers humour of Richard Ayoades writing and the accompanying artwork from the pen of illustrator David Roberts, while imaginative teaching staff will be able to find all sorts of ways to use the short texts to prompt reading and writing activities in class. * Worlds Smallest Library *[] delightful… I strongly recommend this unusual and stimulating collection of correspondence. * The Letterpress Project * Details ISBN1529500311 Author David Roberts Pages 128 Publisher Walker Books Ltd Year 2024 Illustrator David Roberts ISBN-13 9781529500318 Format Hardcover Publication Date 2024-09-05 Imprint Walker Books Ltd Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Audience Children / Juvenile UK Release Date 2024-09-05 ISBN-10 1529500311 Audience Age 9-12 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
