'Hansel and Gretel are abandoned in the woods, and their carefully laid trail of breadcrumbs has been eaten by birds. Lost and alone, they come across a house of bread and cake, but soon find out the old woman who lives inside is not as sweet as she first seems. This new retelling, with delightfully grim illustrations by Jonathan Bentley, gives this old tale an enthralling new lease of life and will fascinate a whole new generation of readers.' (Publication summary)
