Once upon a time was only the start . . . welcome to the Fairytale Woods! It's a race to the palace for Puss in Boots in a hilarious secret diary from million-copy bestselling author, comedian and actor Ben Miller.

Life is not fair for Mittens the cat. First it’s no more milk for breakfast, then he’s forced to sleep in a windowless shed. And now he has to use a LITTER TRAY?! This. Is. Not. Happening!

A cat of his calibre should be living it up in a castle, and he’s determined to make his dream come true.  His master certainly isn’t going to be much help, so it’s up to Mittens to charm the king and queen, defeat a shapeshifting ogre, and outwit the princess’s own cunning cat. But first things first, he has his eye on a very fetching pair of boots . . . Only a PUSS IN BOOTS can make it all the way to the top.

Come down to the Fairytale Woods and discover what your favourite characters are really thinking in the bestselling series from Ben Miller, illustrated by Elisa Paganelli. Diary of a Big Bad Wolf also available.
