About this listen
The first book 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. 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 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.

The reason? Sophie’s a Telepath, someone who can read minds. No one knows her secret - at least, that’s what she thinks.... But the day Sophie meets Fitz, a mysterious (and adorable) boy, she learns she’s not alone. He’s a Telepath too, and it turns out the reason she has never felt at home is that, well...she isn’t. Fitz opens Sophie’s eyes to a shocking truth....

Story
The kingdom of Cornucopia was once the happiest in the world. It had plenty of gold, a king with the finest moustache you could possibly imagine, and butchers, bakers, and cheesemongers whose exquisite foods made a person dance with delight when they ate them. Everything was perfect - except for the misty Marshlands to the north, which, according to legend, were home to the monstrous Ickabog. Anyone sensible knew that the Ickabog was just a myth to scare children into behaving. But the funny thing about myths is that sometimes they take on a life of their own.

What the critics say
"It's hard not to love a book dedicated to the Glee star's grandmother...Colfer gets off many good lines [and] the nifty ending ties the plot's multiple strands up while leaving room for further fairy tale adventures." (Publishers Weekly)
"In The Land of Stories, Colfer showcases his talent for crafting fancifully imaginative plots and multidimensional characters." (Los Angeles Times)
"It will hit big with its combination of earnestness and playful poise." (The New York Times Book Review)

Excellent Story
My children (4 and 8) and I thoroughly enjoyed this story, and they begged me to get the next one in the series. My only complaint is that I found the narrator spoke too quickly, and we had to go back a few times because we missed information. Other than the pacing, the performance was good, and I liked the voices he did.

Incredible story for the whole family!!
We were recommended this book and thought we’d give it a try during a road trip with our 3 young boys ages 7,7 and 10. We’ve never had a road trip with no fights until this one. The boys were all so enthralled with the story that they didn’t fight or argue or anything. It was delightful. And my husband and I enjoyed the story too! Would definitely recommend this book to other families with either boys or girls. We can’t wait to listen to other books in the series

Fabulous!
My nine year old and I loved listening to this. We laughed, cried and were on the edge of our seat, listening to this thrilling at times, creatively narrated - bringing to life all the treasured fairy tales in one action packed story. Hard to stop listening.
Whilst gently unfolding and exploring the complicated topic of a sibling relationship marred by grief and loss.

My kids loved it!
This review is on behalf of my 8 and 9 year old children who both loves this book. In their opinion it starts off a little slowly and we did have some complaints in the beginning but once Alex and Conor are into the LOS they didnt want to stop listening. We listened to this book on a long road trip and the story has the ability to hold an adults attention also. We finished this book and were half way through book two by the time the road trip was over.

Excellent. High key recommend
We listened to the Land of Stories over several car rides and the whole family enjoyed it. It’s a wonderful story and my son(8) and daughter(6) both loved the characters. Especially that they are brother and sister with different personalities. It appealed to everyone! And there were no annoying voices which often happens in kids audio books. :)

We played this for the kids while traveling. My 6, 8 and 10 yr old all loved and begged for it to play. Even my husband and I got really into it. Really well written and narrated. Loved how different fairytale characters were introduced, how their stories intertwined and how they offered different prespectives. We were all able to get lost in the Land of Stories.

It’s pretty good
I love most of the characters, but I would like more info on some of them. And the story is great, my only pet peeve is that you could talk, more about the mom. I like the pace, but you can get lost in the story from time to time. But the lines between the beginning, middle and end are very good! So, you can always find your way back. the last thing is your missing, a good call to Action. Overall I love these books❣️
