Praise
Praise for Hansel & Gretel:*"Neil Gaiman and Lorenzo Mattotti's version of Hansel and Gretel may be a current darling, but Hobbie's version is as harrowing, if not more"
—Publishers Weekly, starred review
"
Hobbie's stripped-down retelling of "Hansel and Gretel" maintains a high degree of fidelity to the classic fairy tale, while her illustrations reveal a rich array of artistic influences on her visual interpretation of the story.... A fine addition to the fairy-tale shelves."
—Kirkus Reviews
