Synopsis

Hansel and Gretel: Siblings Hansel and Gretel are left in a threatening forest and follow a trail toward a seemingly welcoming house. King's retelling emphasizes their fear, resourcefulness, and loyalty while Maurice Sendak's illustrations give the familiar witch and candy house a darker visual character.
