Hansel And Gretel (King / Sendak) (HB)
Pickup available at The Shop
Usually ready in 24 hours
If you've ever felt that Hansel and Gretel was always supposed to be a little bit frightening, a little bit beautiful, and not quite safe for anyone regardless of age, then Stephen King and Maurice Sendak would like a word. King retells the classic tale with all the eerie, creeping dread it deserves, and Sendak's illustrations (created in close collaboration with the Maurice Sendak Foundation) are the kind that stay with you long after the book is closed. It's 48 pages of genuine dark wonder, and it is absolutely, unashamedly a gift for the grown-ups too.
We love it because:
- Two legends, one story: the collaboration feels inevitable once you see it
- Stephen King's personal introduction sets the tone perfectly before a single page is turned
- Sendak's artwork is haunting and beautiful in equal measure
- It's the fairy tale as it was always meant to feel: genuinely unsettling, genuinely magical
- Stunning production quality makes it as lovely to hold as it is to read
What's in the box:
- One hardback book with jacket, 48 pages, illustrated throughout
Great for:
- Teens and adults (this one isn't really for young children)
- Fans of Stephen King, Maurice Sendak, or dark fairy tales
- Halloween, Christmas, or a birthday gift for someone who likes their stories with shadows in them
- Anyone who grew up on fairy tales and is ready to meet them again properly
Important to know:
- Hardback with jacket, 48 pages
- Dimensions: 26.2 x 23.4 cm
- Published by Hodder and Stoughton, September 2025
- We'd suggest this one for teens and adults rather than young children
