Hansel and Gretel — by Brothers Grimm

Picture the edge of a great forest at dusk — a woodcutter's cottage with a turf roof that keeps its own small meadow in summer, and two children who know the wood the way other children know the rooms of a house. Tonight, we settle into Hansel and Gretel — this unhurried, sleep-tuned retelling begins long before the hunger comes, in the good years, with firelight and a wooden wren and a white bird that watches over them.

Includes mentions of: Food, Loss, Animals, Fire, Weather, Forest, Children.
