Reviews

Don't get gobbled up. That primal warning is the central thread that glitters darkly through many of the best children's stories... [A] new version of Hansel and Gretel...by Stephen King no less...Yes, please.
The Times
[T]his glorious picture book features King's reimagining of the late illustrator Sendak's beautiful opera set and costume designs for the Humperdinck opera based on Hansel and Gretel. The result is a thrilling book brimming with the menace

Gorgeous, Blakean images
The Observer
King's punch-like prose and Sendak's haunting drawings make for an immensely absorbing book: Hansel's nightmarish visions brilliantly project the readers' anxieties. And, as with Where the Wild Things Are, Sendak's drawings tease with their beauty as much as with their menace.
The Telegraph
Sendak loved the poet and artist William Blake...and his hero's influence illuminates every page of this gorgeous hardback
