Description

Hansel and Gretel is Stephen King’s retelling of the classic Brothers Grimm fairy tale, inspired by Maurice Sendak’s rediscovered artwork created for a 1997 opera production. Staying true to the story’s timeless core, King brings his distinctive voice to the tale of two children lost in a dark and dangerous forest, where an enticing house of sweets conceals a terrible threat. As Hansel and Gretel confront a wicked witch, they must rely on their courage, intelligence, and determination to survive. Blending classic folklore with King’s atmospheric storytelling, this reimagining offers a fresh perspective on one of the world’s most enduring fairy tales.
