Product Information

Celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Chris Colfer's #1 New York Times bestselling series The Land of Stories with this gorgeous illustrated anniversary edition!

The story begins with a mysterious figure in a cloak walking down the stairs of a prison, who turns out to be Snow White. Now Queen, she is visiting her stepmother known as the Evil Queen in the dungeons. Snow White tries to find the real reason behind her stepmother's actions, not believing somebody could just be pure evil. At first, the Evil Queen refuses to tell Snow White anything, not wanting sympathy. As the young queen insists, the Evil Queen agrees to tell her story. Unbeknownst to them, they were not the only ones trying to use the Wishing Spell. The Evil Queen was on a quest to collect the items as well. While Alex and Conner got all their information from the journal, the Evil Queen got it from her Magic Mirror, who gave the Queen an important warning: The Wishing Spell could only be used twice, and as it had already been used once before; so, it could only be used one more time. Thus, a true competition to collect the items began. A competition that, unlike the Evil Queen, the twins didn't yet know about. While the Queen sent the Huntsman's daughter to find all the needed objects, she planned to take care of Alex and Conner herself. However, the twins know time is running out. They have the Evil Queen chasing after them, and she wants the items for the wishing spell as well. The wishing spell can only be used once, so will they ever get home?
