Or, the Three Magical Children and Their Holy Dog

"Hansel y Gretel salen un día de su propio cuento y se introducen en otros ocho relatos populares que también fueron convertidos en clásicos por los hermanos Grimm. A lo largo de un periplo lleno de oscuros peligros, conoceremos el origen real de muchas historias de cuento. ¿De dónde vienen las casas comestibles, las migas de pan o las propias brujas? La verdad tras la simbología resulta tan apasionante como los propios cuentos, presentados en versiones mucho más violentas y amenazadoras, tal como eran conocidos antes de ser maquillados por los Grimm"--Publisher's description.

Una sonrisa roja como la sangre : La verdadera y horrible historia de Hansel y Gretel

Was nun folgt, ist ein Märchen. Ein Märchen?, wirst du vielleicht denken. Märchen sind doch Kinderkram! Doch in diesem Märchen hüpfen keine kleinen Mädchen mit roten Kappen fröhlich durch den Wald. Was zwischen diesen Seiten auf sie lauert ist die wahre Geschichte von Hänsel und Gretel – ein Märchen voller dunkler Zauberer, gefährlicher Hexen und todbringender Drachen. Dieses Märchen ist vielleicht furchterregend, sicherlich blutig und definitiv nichts für Angsthasen; aber anders als alle anderen Märchen, die du kennst, ist dieses hier wahr. "Adam Gidwitz schafft es, die gruselige Gewalt, die in den alten Märchen der Brüder Grimm enthalten ist, mit wunderbar viel Humor und einem großartigen Gespür für Spannung auszubalancieren [...] Er webt Grimms Märchen zu einer einzigen Geschichte mit Hänsel und Gretel als Hauptfiguren zusammen und das macht er so gut, dass man nach der Lektüre davon überzeugt ist, dass die alten Geschichten so und nicht anders erzählt werden sollten." RICK RIORDAN Autor der Percy Jackson-Serie Dieser Titel wurde auf der Leipziger Buchmesse prämiert und mit dem Leipziger Lesekompass ausgezeichnet!
