Book Review

Hansel and Gretel
by Bethan Woollvin

by Alexa Dretzke, May 2018

Now, we all know Hansel and Gretel were the poor children cast out of their home into the forest and treated rather badly by a witch – but is this so? What if we heard the story from the witch’s point of view? Things might look a little different. Bethan Woollvin has fun with the traditional tale and her stylised art adds extra humour to this cheeky retelling of what might have really gone on in that quaint gingerbread house.

Woollvin’s earlier books, Rapunzel and Little Red, are just as mischievous and striking, and will be enjoyed by ages 2+.
