A gripping and fresh retelling of a children's classic for a new generation of readers. No child ever forgets the story of the witch, the breadcrumb trail and the gingerbread house in the forest.

With breath-taking illustrations by the celebrated Emma Chichester Clark, this edition of Hansel and Gretel will grip the imagination of a whole new generation of children.
