If this isn’t the definitive edition of “Hansel and Gretel,” it’s absolutely necessary.—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)I love Gaiman’s and Mattotti’s Hansel & Gretel. The writing is rich. ("They went so deep into the old forest that the sunlight was stained green by the leaves.") And the art is striking. I have never seen a more chill-inducing rendition of the witch's gingerbread cottage. I swear it looks like there's a skull atop it.—Julie Danielson, Seven Impossible Things Before BreakfastSome books you’re excited about because you like the author and you know what to expect. Others are exciting because you like the author and you have no idea what to expect. That’s the case with this TOON Books version of Hansel & Gretel written by Neil Gaiman.—Travis Jonker, 100 Scope Notes
