Hansel & Gretel




Sender: Tries
"Hansel & Gretel" by Bernhard Oberdieck

This is a lovely illustration of Hansel & Gretel, a well-known German fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm. Bernhard Oberdieck the illustrator, is specialised in illustrating children's books. But I must say...this fairy-tale gave me nightmares when I was a little girl! The cannibal witch scared me silly even if she was pushed into her oven in the end! :P

"Nibble, nibble, gnaw,
Who is nibbling at my little house? "

The children answered,"The wind, the wind,
The heaven-born wind,"
