The story of HANSEL AND GRETEL is one of the darkest fairy tales in existence. But what if the story wasn't quite as we know it? Hansel and Gretel were twins, that much was true, and someone did force their father to abandon them in the woods. But what if it wasn't their stepmother. What if it was Gretel herself? You see, it's not easy being a twin - especially not when you're a girl. Hansel had his whole life ahead of him; he could travel the world, choose who he wanted to marry - or if he wanted to marry at all. Hansel's possibilities were endless. But there was none of this in Gretel's future. No freedom, no fun, no joy. Of this, Gretel was certain. So she took her future into her own hands. But will it turn out the way she hoped? Or will things get a little ... twisted... Perfect for fans of Dark Unicorns, and Disney's Twisted Tales and Villains series'. A dark and irresistible twist on a classic fairy tale.
