Hansel and Gretel

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Monique Felix. Hewing closely to the Grimm version of the tale, Felix illustrates a gorgeous, psychologically suggestive "Hansel and Gretel" peopled by limpid-eyed, rosy-cheeked children; set in deep, tangled woods; and featuring an alabaster-skinned, cat-eyed witch, her scraggly hair dressed with bones. There's quite a bit of text per page, but the overall presentation of this edition is delicious.
