This oversized deluxe edition presents Neil Gaiman's graphic novel adaptation of the classic German fairy tale, Hansel and Gretel. It follows the familiar story of two children abandoned in the woods who find a house made of sweets, only to be trapped by a cannibalistic witch. The artwork is dark and atmospheric, perfectly complementing the story's inherent tension and horror. While the themes of abandonment and peril are prominent, the story ultimately highlights the children's bravery and resourcefulness. It's an excellent choice for children aged 7 and up who are ready for a more intense fairy tale experience, or for younger children (4-6) to enjoy as a read-aloud with careful parental guidance.
