The Fairy Tale Fan Club: Legendary Letters Collected by C. C. Cecily

“Wes Anderson flawlessly portrays the prestigious C. C. Cecily, senior secretary of the Fairy Tale Fan Club. Cecily encourages kids to write to and get replies from beloved—or reviled—story characters. As delivered by Lydia Fox Sleeping Beauty’s yawn-filled commentary is sleep inducing as she describes her “exciting” life with the Prince. An eight-year-old asks Humpty Dumpty, ‘Are you an egg or a human?’ Portrayed by Richard Ayoade, he responds, ‘No matter, I’m just happy to get out of the shell.’ Most enjoyable is the story characters’ bafflement at words like ‘emoji’ and ‘iPod.’ In responding, Cecily slips in an occasional double entendre for older listeners.” —AudioFile

“Ayoade and Roberts’s combined talents are the best thing since that one guy with chocolate ran into that other guy with peanut butter and made the world a much better place in the process. A delight!” —Andrea Beaty, New York Times bestselling author
