  Hansel and Gretel

  By Rika Lesser, Paul O. Zelinsky (Illustrator)

  In this book translated from one of the less-embellished versions of the classic Brothers Grimm story, the artwork dominates. Sometimes imitating sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Flemish art, sometimes adopting a romantic nineteenth- century style, the paintings are rich in color and detail.
