PRAISE FOR HANSEL AND GRETEL!
“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, author of Goosebumps and Fear Street
“Stephen King’s sharp, gleeful, timeless retelling of Hansel and Gretel is a mischievous joy, perfectly paired with Maurice Sendak’s indelible art. This is a storybook to be treasured and read and reread by night-light.”
— Paul Tremblay, author of Horror Movie, Another, and A Head Full of Ghosts
“A classic story, retold with darkness and warmth. Children will lose themselves in the pastel sweets and catching vines of Sendak’s illustrations, but it’s also perfect for adult readers and Stephen King fans who may recognize this witch from… other places. It chills and delights in equal measure.”
— Adam Cesare, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of the Clown in a Cornfield series
