About this listen

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.

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.

Escapism for any age!

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.

Wow! I wasn't expecting that!

The book was a lot of fun, loved the characters too. Unfortunate narration though, deadpan and lacking inflection entirely. Odd because some of the character voices show they are capable of more range.

Poor Narration, great story.

loved every minute really enjoyed listening to this book, entertaining, funny, surprising. So much adventure, so many nail biting moments. Loved it loved it loved it. On to his next book. P. S. Thank you so much Chris Colfer for taking the time to write and read your own book so people like me who don't read actual books can listen to them instead, you made it sound so real especially when you changed your voice to fit each character. Thank you

Love
