If this isn’t the definitive edition of “Hansel and Gretel,” it’s
absolutely necessary.
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
I love Gaiman’s and Mattotti’s Hansel & Gretel. The writing is
rich. ("They went so deep into the old forest that the sunlight was
stained green by the leaves.") And the art is striking. I have
never seen a more chill-inducing rendition of the witch's
gingerbread cottage. I swear it looks like there's a skull atop
it.
—Julie Danielson, Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast
Some books you’re excited about because you like the author and you
know what to expect. Others are exciting because you like the
author and you have no idea what to expect. That’s the case with
this TOON Books version of Hansel & Gretel written by Neil
Gaiman.
