Additionally, The Mother Goose Diaries and Queen Red Riding Hood’s Guide to Royalty, which were first published in a boxed set in 2015, will be available individually for the first time in July 2017. The deluxe gift book will contain a collection of 24 fairy tales, designed to replicate the Fairy-Tale Treasury book that started Colfer’s main characters, Alex and Conner, on their adventures in the first book. In October, Little, Brown will release a companion, The Land of Stories: A Treasury of Classic Fairy Tales, which will contain 30 full-color illustrations by Brandon Dorman, who also did the artwork for Colfer’s novels and picture book The Curvy Tree.
The books have been translated into 19 languages, with more than two million copies sold in the U.S. What began in 2012 as a two-book deal has now grown into a nine-book (and counting), multi-format series, in which siblings Alex and Connor tumble into the land of fairy tales, which is a far cry from the setting described in their storybook.

I preferred other narrators in this genre like Bronson Pinchot and Johnny Heller. He has a flat quality to his voice which I didn't really like. They were very similar so if you liked the last one, you will likely enjoy this as well.ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?Ĭolder isn't my favorite narrator which surprised me since he's an actor. My 11 year old and I listened to his first book as well (the prior book in this series). Have you listened to any of Chris Colfer’s other performances before? How does this one compare? The fresh take on fairy tale stories we all know. Fairy tale fantasy type stories seem to translate really well to the audio format. I haven't read the print version but this is a great book on audio. Would you consider the audio edition of The Land of Stories: The Enchantress Returns to be better than the print version? Second in the series continues the adventure
