Hansel and Greta (Fairy Tale Revolution #2)
by Jeanette Winterson (Author) Laura Barrett (Illustrator)
Greta lives with her brother Hansel on the edge of a great forest - a forest in danger of destruction. GreedyGuts, their aunt, doesn't appreciate Hansel and Greta's plans to replant trees and save the forest. In fact, she thinks they're horrible little vegetarians. GreedyGuts doesn't give two hoots about nature. She favors luxury and living it up: eating, shopping and partying hard and so she hatches a plan to get rid of the meddling, do-gooder kids deep in the woods.
With her trademark subversive and comic eye, Jeanette Winterson retells the classic tale of Hansel and Gretel.
