Get lost in a good book!

Sabrina and Daphne Grimm have studied hundreds of fairy tales as part of their family business, but they never though they'd actually be in one. And yet, that's exactly what happens when they follow the diabolical Master into the Book of Everafter, a mysterious tome in which copies of the world's fairy tales live out their stories over and over again. The Grimms must track down the Master while avoiding the book's tyrannical Editor, who is devoted to keeping the stories on track. In the Book of Everafter, stories can be rewritten, which is why Sabrina and Daphne must find the Master before he can alter his fate - and the fate of the whole world.

Acknowledgements[]

"This book was the most difficult of the series to write, even with the considerable help of the geniuses who came long before me. First, thanks to Carlo Colladi's masterpiece, The Adventures of Pinocchio, and also to Sir Richard F. Burton's translation of The Arabian Nights,  L. Frank Baum's  Wonderful Wizard of Oz, as well as Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book, Washington Irving's Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The Annotated Brothers Grimm, edited and translated by Maria Tatar, was also essential to this writing. Unfortunately, there are tales I used whose authors have faded from our collective knowledge, but their spirits visited me and I thank them for their timeless stories.
