Description

[A] jewel box of a book. —Kirkus

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.
