pickA very cute, yet dark middle grade fantasy. I enjoyed the twist on the Hansel & Gretal story. A great one for middle grade students that like scary stories, yet is age appropriate. 4⭐️
Another #bookspinbingo!
‘The daughter of the witch has spent her life in the forest, in a wondrous candy cottage as dangerous as it is beautiful. She seeks to undo her mother‘s spells and free the poor souls who fell to temptation.‘
A fantastic mashup of #HanselAndGretel and The Gingerbread Man. This was cute, sugary sweet, and just a little bit Grimm.
A Villain‘s Ever After Series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

so-soBook 4 of 2024.
I think this could have been great if it was longer/more fleshed out. The short story format made it feel too jumbled and confused.
pickHansel and Gretel has always been one of my favorite Grimm tales—if you look deep enough, it will tell you a lot about the medieval life in that time. This book has many of the classic magic and cleverness of the old fairy tales; it is a look into the gaps of the siblings‘ lives that we never knew. And it is delightfully gory.
He invites girls to this house, and he reaches down their throats and rips their souls from their bodies, and he traps the souls in cages in the form of doves, to let them rot under his eaves. Then he hacks the girls‘ bodies to pieces to make our supper.

I read this as a companion to the original. Must say I liked Gaiman‘s version better, more atmospheric and descriptive writing. Illustrations were fine.

My first adult reread of this well known fairy tale classic. I was surprised how short it was and how straightforward the storytelling was. Overall I was more than happy to dip into this book and read some childhood favorites.
