Haensel and Gretel

Authoren: Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm
Illustrations: Susanne Janssen


It is one of the best-known fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm: Hansel and Gretel. A serious, ominous story from the dark and dreary forest, which, like all fairy tales, makes a strict distinction between good and evil and punishes the bad. This makes it tellable for children.

Susanne Janssen's fantastic, surreal illustrations show all facets of the fairy tale, including the darker ones. The text of the book, which was published simultaneously in Germany and France, is based on the 1919 version revised by the Brothers Grimm themselves.
