Summary

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 fairytales.

The Land of Stories tells the tale of twins Alex and Conner. 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 the 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.

Best book I've come across!

I've been quite a big fan of Chris for a while now.
I've always had trouble sleeping but I started listening to this last night and oh my did it help!
A great book for everyone! I'm a 16 year old boy and I don't really like books, but Chris' are something different!
A must have!

Never gets old

I could listen to this book 1000 times which it feels like I have, and it will never ever not be entertaining to listen to. Chris Colfer is such a good author, I can’t wait for the film!!!

Escapism for any age!

I am a 32 yo male and have just finished the listening to the land of stories. I came to it out of curiosity, I wanted to experience Chris Colfers writing. This did not disappoint. After quite a difficult being an adult has sucked, this book was a great escape.
It is filled with characters we all grew up with but adds new context.
You can tell the book is aimed at a younger audience but I was pleasantly surprised with developments and outcomes of the story.
I have already downloaded the next in the series and look forward to starting it.
Highly recommend for children and the child inside all of us.

Wow! I wasn't expecting that!

I downloaded this book as a last minute "MUST use my credit" choice thinking by the title that it was a bunch of short fairytales that I could play for the kids, only to one night not having anything new to read began to listen and was shocked how much I, a fully grown professional adult was gripped by the story and couldn't put it down. The Narration brought the story to life and what a story it's like someone took Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and mashed them altogether with all the fairytales ever told. Found out there is a a series of adventures and Just purchased the whole box set as I cant wait to see what' hapoens next , oh n for my kids as well.
