Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine which spotlights eagerly anticipated upcoming releases!
I absolutely adore fairytales, so the cover of this book immediately caught my eye. The synopsis sounded fun, so even though I don't normally have children's books as my WOW picks, The Land of Stories is a delightful exception :)
