About this title

Synopsis

Once upon a time,

deep in the dark, green forest

there was an exquisite house made of cake and sugar--

a house made to lure lost, hungry children.

 

But the witch whose delicious house

lured Hansel and his sister, Gretel

had forgotten two things about lost children:

they can be very clever

and very brave.
