Hansel and Gretel is one of the Grimm Brothers' best-loved fairy tales. This shaped book tells the story of two siblings who brave a night in the dark woods and cleverly defeat a witch who lives in an appealing gingerbread house. Margaret Evans Price (1888-1973) was a prolific American illustrator of fairy tales and children's stories. Her gentle and archetypal style achieves the right balance between the sweetness of the children and the scariness of the witch.
