“Without a doubt, it is the most beautiful fairy tale I’ve seen this year.” – Elizabeth Bird, A Fuse #8 Production, School Library Journal

★ “A sumptuous edition of the old fairy tale uses striking design to place readers in the forest with the children….Adapted by West from a public-domain edition of the tale, the text has an appropriately old-fashioned feel that supports Schenker’s masterful interpretation. Gorgeous.” – Kirkus Reviews, STARRED REVIEW

“A classic Grimm Brothers tale gets an all-new look in this stunning retelling.” – 100 Titles for Reading and Sharing, New York Public Library

“Even the most jaded reader may find his scalp prickling with dread at the sight of Sybille Schenker's illustrations in “Hansel and Gretel” (Minedition, 52 pages, $29.99).…. Ms. Schenker uses inky silhouettes and paper-cut images on translucent paper to make this most familiar of Grimm tales feel alarmingly new.” – Wall Street Journal

“Another new wonder from minedition, this breathtaking edition … is beautifully crafted by artist Schenker….A unique and truly amazing picture book wonder…. it’s the fabulous die-cut book jacket and wondrous black-and-white (and other colors to highlight pages) pictures that make it a true gem.” – Kids Corner, nationally syndicated review column

“[In the starred review, Kirkus] call[s] it nothing less than “gorgeous” and “sumptuous.” It really is both things, more of a coffee-table book than one you want to give, say, a toddler – given things like its thick cover stitching, die cuts, and vellum pages. The stark, black silhouettes throughout the book set a splendidly eerie tone, and the highly-patterned color illustrations that appear (not pictured below) are striking.” – Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast
