Picture book version of Robert Browning’s famous poem. This is an interpretation of the tale, which retains all its traditional characters: the fat pompous mayor, the magical Piper, hundreds of rats and streams of children.

‘Hansel and Gretel’ a traditional tale. (Marks and Spencer book)
When the food runs out at the woodcutter’s cottage, Hansel and Gretel’s wicked stepmother sends them away. But what luck! In the wood the children find a cottage made of sweets: but it’s not all it seems. Watch out for the witch!
N.B. The wooden cage is no longer in the sack, it was broken in 2011.
