The first audiobook in Chris Colfer's number one New York Times best-selling series The Land of Stories about two siblings who fall into a fairy-tale world!

Alex and Conner Bailey's world is about to change in this fast-paced adventure that uniquely combines our modern day world with the enchanting realm of classic fairy tales.

Through the mysterious powers of a cherished book of stories, they leave their world behind and find themselves in a foreign land full of wonder and magic where they come face-to-face with fairy tale characters they grew up reading about.

But after a series of encounters with witches, wolves, goblins, and trolls alike, getting back home is going to be harder than they thought.

This book was highly recommended to me by my ten year old granddaughter. She couldn’t wait for me to read it so that we, “Could discuss it like you and Mom do other books.” I could I resist?

I actually enjoyed this book myself. I learned the stories behind the stories, the excitement of unexpected adventures, and yes, even a surprise ending! I can’t wait to discuss this with my granddaughter!
