Book Synopsis
“Nibble, nibble, little louse! Who is nibbling at my house?” Translated from the first edition, experience the tale of Hansel and Gretel in its original form, as brother and sister are abandoned in a great forest by their parents, only to discover that someone far more sinister than wild animals awaits them… The final version of this classic fairytale—from the seventh and ultimate edition of the Brothers Grimm’s Children's and Household Tales—is also included. With these latest English translations, the original and final versions can be read back-to-back, showcasing the ever-evolving nature of fairytales.
