(2) K-3 Translated by Anthea Bell. Illustrated by Dorothee Duntze. This handsome book offers the Grimms' text with only minor abridgments of the dialogue and of Hansel and Gretel's wanderings in the wood. Duntze's stylized art enhances the tale's nightmare quality and psychological depth. Bell's translation is clean and well paced. This is the real story, in a format appropriate for readers old enough to appreciate its darker meanings.
