A review by amberfinnegan
Hänsel und Gretel by Jacob Grimm, Barbara Jelenkovich

4.0

Hänsel und Gretel was an interesting read. The original version struggled with the mother, the children were constantly referred to as the Father’s children and she was the wife. Later in the story she is mentioned as the mother. After 1840 the Brüder Grimm changed her to a stepmother.

There are so many facilitating little details that pop up as you study these old tales. I love it.
