The Brothers Grimm are famous throughout the world for their tales
and legends, which have been translated, retold, and illustrated by
myriad authors and artists.
Sybille Schenker is a freelance illustrator whose work includes
Hansel and Gretel. She lives in New York City.
"This lush production is a companion to Schenker's earlier Hansel
and Gretel. . . . The suspense created by the shadowed, partial
views of what is to come deepens the menace of innocence pursued by
evil. . . . a remarkable example of the book as art." Publishers
