Customer Reviews

Extraordinary work! Very clever.

An extremely creative reframing of several tales as one extended cut of Hansel and Gretel, this work will make you laugh out loud, and move you to tears. It contains some disturbing imagery, which the author warns you (tongue in cheek) to keep away from small children, but like the violence of scripture, my opinion is that it is well worth it. And suitable for children (with. parental guidance). The stories are inspiring and full of symbolic truth and wisdom - exactly the kind of thing kids need more of.
