About this listen

"Hansel and Gretel" is a classic fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm. The story follows two siblings, Hansel and Gretel, who are abandoned in a forest by their parents and fall into the hands of a witch who lives in a gingerbread, cake, and candy house. The witch, who has cannibalistic intentions, intends to fatten Hansel before eventually eating him. However, Gretel saves her brother by pushing the witch into her own oven, killing her, and escaping with the witch's treasure. The story is a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed, selfishness, and the consequences of disobedience. It also highlights the importance of resourcefulness, courage, and the power of sibling love.
