Praise for Hansel and Gretel

“A classic Grimm Brothers tale gets an all-new look in this stunning retelling.” – 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing, New York Public Library “Even the most jaded reader may find his scalp prickling with dread at the sight of Sybille Schenker's illustrations in "Hansel and Gretel" (Minedition, 52 pages, $29.99).…. Ms. Schenker uses inky silhouettes and paper-cut images on translucent paper to make this most familiar of Grimm tales feel alarmingly new.” – Wall Street Journal
