[Review] Hansel and Gretel by Neil Gaiman

Published on 14 July 2023 at 10:43

This was a very good retelling—true to the original story—but with a flavor that speaks to Gaiman's skill as a storyteller. The dark and twisted artwork, by Lorenzo Mattotti, invites closer inspection and lends its own shadowy abstruseness to this childhood classic.

 

And don't skip the Afterward on this one. It gives a rich overview on the history of the story, which, in itself, is a story all its own.

 

Another hit by Gaiman.

 

Note: I received this as an ARC. It is scheduled to be released 9/1/23.

Genres: Graphic Novels, Folklore, Classics, Middle Grade
