Hansel and Gretel

One of the best-loved Brothers Grimm fairy tales in the world, illustrated by the legendary European artist Bernadette Watts.

Hansel and Gretel are abandoned in the dark forest by their wicked mother who is unable to feed them. Hungry and lost, they stumble upon a house made of delicious cakes and bread. But the witch that lives inside is not as sweet as her tasty house, and soon Hansel and Gretel are facing the witch’s oven. Can the children’s cleverness save them from the witch and reunite them with their father? From the blues of the dark forest to the reds of the candies lining the gingerbread house, this unabridged story reimagined by Bernadette’s bold and illustrative brush strokes will leave one’s mouth watering for more.

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm were born in 1785 and 1786 near Frankfurt, Germany. Their collections of folk and fairy tales have stood the test of time and still influence literature today.

Bernadette Watts, known throughout Europe simply as Bernadette, has illustrated many dozens of folk- and fairy tales. Born in England, she loved to draw from childhood. Bernadette’s many beautiful books include The Snow Queen and The Ugly Duckling.
