Simon Armitage's retelling of "Hansel & Gretel" is a darkly glittering fairy tale for grown-ups.
In his vivid and trenchant language, he puts a contemporary spin on the tale we know from the Brothers Grimm. This is a twenty-first-century story, whose preoccupations are poverty and hunger, war and flight, a shifting dystopian landscape where nothing is quite as it seems.
Text and illustration fuse beautifully to summon a nightmarish vision that nonetheless contains humor and humanity and the possibility of a more hopeful future to come.
