But will you find your way back out?©2025 Stephen King
Critic Reviews
Masters of their craft
Gorgeous, Blakean images
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.
Sendak loved the poet and artist William Blake...and his hero's influence illuminates every page of this gorgeous hardback
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.
[A}fascinating curio for the horror fan who has small kids
[A] joy from start to end
If your young reader likes fairy tales with a gleefully Gothic edge, this is the book for them
[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
A story filled with both darkness and light, traditional and modern storytelling, illustrations that will carry you into the dark wood
A cracker
