Watts creates a Hansel and Gretel who truly look touched by hardship, with big eyes and muted clothing against backgrounds saturated with color. Snow White focuses more intently on scenery, using intricate lines to create abundant texture for everything from wildflowers to textiles. The texts of these classic tales is in the spirit of the Grimms' originals; however, some transitions are choppy. Review covers these titles: Hansel and Gretel and Snow White.
