Book •
The story of 'Hansel and Gretel' tells the tale of two siblings abandoned in a forest by their parents during a time of famine.

They encounter a witch who lives in a house made of gingerbread and candy, but they outsmart her and ultimately return home to find their stepmother dead and their father welcoming them back.
The story is rooted in historical events such as the Great Famine of 1315-1317 in Europe and reflects the harsh realities of survival during such times.
