Description

Hansel and Gretel is a classic fairy tale written by the Brothers Grimm. The story follows two siblings, Hansel and Gretel, who are abandoned in the forest by their parents. They come across a gingerbread house belonging to a wicked witch who plans to eat them. However, Hansel and Gretel outsmart the witch and successfully escape back home with the help of a trail of breadcrumbs. This tale is a classic example of good triumphing over evil and the importance of sibling love and cooperation.

Author

The Brothers Grimm — Jacob and Wilhelm — gave the world a treasury of fairy tales so memorable that they seem always to have existed. In fact they were gathered, edited, and refined with extraordinary care from the spoken traditions of German villages and hearths. Their stories carry wolves, wishes, jealous queens, lost children, and sudden justice through forests where danger feels real and virtue is tested.
