Hansel and Gretel

Hansel and Gretel

$135.00

A FAIRY-TALE BY THE BROTHERS GRIMM⠀•⠀ILLUSTRATIONS BY LENA GONZALES

The second in our trio of Grimm stories. Children’s literature, and children’s illustration, have a way of teasing the divide between sweet innocence and sick brutality. It was a pleasure to work on this divide with my cousin Lena, a talented artist pursuing her BFA in illustration, fashioning something in the space between Handsel and Gretel’s airy reputation and the horror of this 1812 text.
