Description

Do you remember reading the story of Hansel and Gretel when you were a child? This is NOT that book!

Published under the appropriately named Grimm Brothers in 1812, the original Hansel and Gretel was truly a hide-under-the-covers, terrifying story.

But, the good thing about fairy tales is that they lend themselves to interpretation and this new version by bestselling author Marilee Joy Mayfield is as delightful as a gingerbread treat!

1. Yes, the children still have to battle for survival
2. And Hansel still does his best to protect his little sister Gretel
3. Later, in the forest, they still meet an old lady (is she a witch?) who lives in a delicious gingerbread house
4. But then, the story takes a new fascinating turn, which includes a very important lesson about beauty and ugliness

With scrumptious, original artwork by Vaishnavi Dukhande and lyrical prose by Mayfield, this new version is sure to bring smiles to children and their read-aloud adults.
