A gripping retelling of a children's classic story for the new generation. No child ever forgets the story of the witch, the breadcrumb trail and the gingerbread house in the forest. Former Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo takes the Brothers Grimm classic to a new level, weaving from these themes a rich fairytale tapestry of hunger and hope, cruelty and courage. 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.
Loved it! A great read for Children 5 - 10yo. A long book, but a new take on the tale of Hansel and Gretel. Very enjyable. Loved the alliteration, and repetition, and way there was flow in the language. Illustrations very suitable and made a great blend with the text. Great to read to your child; great for your child to read it to themselves. Certainly not a classroom of group book; definitely a one-on-one or solo adventure to take.
