Overview
This five-book collection unites two beloved corners of Chris Colfer's storytelling universe: the spellbinding A Tale of Magic trilogy and two whimsical companion guides from The Land of Stories world. Follow Brystal Evergreen as she defies a kingdom that outlaws magic and grows into one of middle-grade fantasy's boldest heroines. Then enjoy the playful voices of Queen Red Riding Hood and Mother Goose herself in two illustrated, diary-style reads. Together, these five paperbacks deliver humor, heart, and imagination for young readers who love fairy tales reimagined with courage and wit.

About the Books
This set bridges two fan-favorite strands of Chris Colfer's fantasy writing. The A Tale of Magic trilogy follows Brystal Evergreen, a young woman living under the Southern Kingdom's harsh laws forbidding women from reading or practicing magic. When Brystal discovers real magical ability, she is whisked to a hidden academy where she must master her powers while confronting prejudice and corrupt systems trying to silence her. Her journey widens from a single classroom to a kingdom-spanning fight for justice. Alongside the trilogy are two shorter, illustrated companion volumes from the wider Land of Stories universe: The Mother Goose Diaries, imagining the private journal of the fairy-tale world's most famous storyteller, and Queen Red Riding Hood's Guide to Royalty, a tongue-in-cheek etiquette manual from a once-mischievous heroine turned monarch. Both lean into sly humor and nostalgia, ideal as lighter reads between the trilogy's adventurous installments. As a whole, the collection showcases Colfer's clever storytelling and inventive world-building.
