This July marks the release of Chris Colfer’s (Glee, Struck by Lightning) third installment of his Land of Stories series – The Land of Stories: A Grimm Warning and his fourth novel overall. The series has landed Colfer in the New York Times best seller’s list multiple times and follows the adventures of twins Alex and Connor Bailey into the Land of Stories. The series reintroduces readers with fairy tale favorites like Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks and the Evil Queen, and reinvents their tales into a mix of the original tales of the Brothers Grimm and the more child-friendly versions of Disney which creates a fairy tale world all of his own.
From The Land of Stories: The Enchantress Returns – also known as TLoS 2 – we were left off on a cliffhanger with the twins being separated. However, the TLOS 3 cover makes it clear that this story will see the twins reunited, and we can expect a return appearance by Mother Goose and her pet goose, Lester. Also, this novel marks the first appearance in the story of the Brothers Grimm themselves.
Colfer will be once again touring his book, kicking off in New York on the novel’s release date of July 8. For your chance to meet Colfer and get a copy of TLoS3, check out the locations and dates below.
