Fairytale Woods Series

by ,
(20 reviews)

We all know about wicked witches and big, bad wolves ... what's the deal with their story? In Ben Miller's brilliant Fairytale Woods series for readers aged 6 and 7+, we get to find out exactly how things went down for our favourite fairytale villains. Plus, the books are all the better to read with black-and-white illustrations throughout by the amazing Elisa Paganelli!

Each book of this series is written as a diary from the point of view of one of our favourite baddies of the fairytale world. From Laurence the big, bad wolf who can't seem to fit into the pack, to Mittens the cat who becomes Puss in Boots and even Wendoline who is forced to go on a wickedness management course, these stories are so funny, each character bursting with personality and speaking their mind! 

You do not have to read these books in order, so just pick whichever story you think you'll like most and take it from there. We're sure you won't be able to help yourself from buying the full series in no time!

Ben Miller is the actor, director, comedian and author behind some of our favourite books, including The Night I Met Father Christmas, The Boy Who Made the World Disappear and The Day I Fell Into a Fairytale. 

If you enjoy these books, we're sure you'll also love our selection of Fractured Fairy Tales. 

For more series for readers aged 7+, we recommend taking a look at our blog posts on the Best Illustrated Series for 7 and 8 year olds and the Best Magical Series for 7 and 8 year olds.
