Simon Armitage turns Hansel & Gretel into a darkly glittering
fairy tale for grown-ups. In vivid and trenchant language, he puts
a contemporary spin on the tale we know from the Brothers Grimm.
Here is a twenty-first century story, whose preoccupations are
poverty and hunger, war and flight, a shifting dystopian landscape
where nothing is quite as it seems. Text and illustration fuse
beautifully to summon a nightmarish vision that nonetheless
contains humour and humanity and the possibility of a more hopeful
future to come.
