Assim como todo mundo, os contos de fadas gostam de mandar e receber cartas. João, por exemplo, mal tem tempo de agradecer o gigante pelas ótimas férias que sua galinha de ovos de ouro lhe proporcionou. Cachinhos Dourados aproveita para se desculpar com a família Urso por ter causado confusão na casa. E o que seria da bruxa sem o catálogo de ofertas do Empório da Bruxaria, que esse mês oferece uma promoção especial de mistura para torta Menino Fofo? Por isso, quando o carteiro chega é sempre uma festa, e todo mundo o convida para entrar. Mas às vezes - especialmente em caso de Lobo Mau - ele prefere recusar o chazinho e dar no pé o mais rápido possível. O livro, que é todo contado em rimas, vem cheio de cartas de verdade, postais, livrinhos e convites, com envelope e tudo.
