Hansel and Gretel

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

An Instant #1 New York Times Bestseller!

The classic, haunting tale of two brave children lost in an eerie and dangerous forest, reimagined by literary legends: Stephen King and Maurice Sendak.

Let Stephen King, global bestselling and award-winning author, and Maurice Sendak, beloved creator of the Caldecott-Medal winning Where the Wild Things Are, guide you into this most deliciously daring rendition of the traditional Grimm fairy tale. But will you find your way back out?

This beautiful book includes a personal introduction from Stephen King and has been created in close collaboration with the Maurice Sendak Foundation. A stunning, high-quality hardback with jacket, it is the perfect gift for fans of King, Sendak and dark fairy tales.

"Sure, it's a hundreds-year-old fairy tale. But King's words and Sendak's art have turned it into a magnificent modern classic everyone will want to read. Like the little house in the forest, it lights up with endless surprises and delights. I can't take my eyes off this beautiful book!" - R.L. Stine

"Hansel and Gretel is a delicious tale of dark whimsy that doubles as a survival guide for resourceful children - what more could you ask for?" - Derek Landy, author of Skulduggery Pleasant
