by: Jeanette Winterson/Laura Barrett (Illustrator)

Hardcover. Chicago, Haymarket Books, 1st US, 2021, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, pictorial boards. Two-color illustrations by Laura Barrett. Greta lives with her brother Hansel on the edge of a great forest - a forest in danger of destruction. GreedyGuts, their aunt, doesn't appreciate Hansel and Greta's plans to replant trees and save the forest. In fact, she thinks they're horrible little vegetarians. GreedyGuts doesn't give two hoots about nature. She favors luxury and living it up: eating, shopping and partying hard and so she hatches a plan to get rid of the meddling, do-gooder kids deep in the woods. With her trademark subversive and comic eye, Jeanette Winterson retells the classic tale of Hansel and Gretel.

Vintage & Collectible Children's Picture Books

This section brings together used, rare and out-of-print children's illustrated books, where the artwork matters as much as the story. Expect picture books, illustrated readers and treasuries from a range of decades and artists, such as W.W. Denslow's Denslow's Picture Book Treasury and Emily Arnold McCully's Crossing the New Bridge.

You will also find storybook favorites like Jan Wahl's A Gift for Miss Milo, Randall Jarrell's Fly by Night and Philippe Dumas's Caesar: Cock of the Village. Many titles are earlier printings or hard-to-find editions prized for their plates, endpapers and jacket art, and are described down to their condition and binding.

As with all used and rare stock, condition and availability differ between copies. Most are single copies, so order online while yours is listed.
