The classic, haunting tale of two brave children lost in an eerie and dangerous forest, reimagined by literary legends: Stephen King and Maurice Sendak.
Let Stephen King, global bestselling and award-winning author, and Maurice Sendak, beloved creator of the Caldecott-Medal winning Where the Wild Things Are, guide you into this most deliciously daring rendition of the traditional Grimm fairy tale. But will you find your way back out?
This beautiful book includes a personal introduction from Stephen King and has been created in close collaboration with the Maurice Sendak Foundation. A stunning, high-quality hardback with jacket, it is the perfect gift for fans of King, Sendak and dark fairy tales.

gorgeous, Blakean images * The Observer *
Don't get gobbled up. That primal warning is the central thread that glitters darkly through many of the best children's stories... [A] new version of Hansel and Gretel...by Stephen King no less...Yes, please. * The Times *
Sendak loved the poet and artist William Blake...and his hero's influence illuminates every page of this gorgeous hardback * The Times *
King's punch-like prose and Sendak's haunting drawings make for an immensely absorbing book: Hansel's nightmarish visions brilliantly project the readers' anxieties. And, as with Where the Wild Things Are, Sendak's drawings tease with their beauty as much as with their menace. * The Telegraph *
