Hansel and Gretel; The Seven Ravens; Little Red Cap

Three softcover volumes in publisher slipcase. Illustrated by Lisbeth Zwerger. "Hansel and Gretel is a hopeful tale, for in the end, childlike trust and innocence triumph, and wickedness receives its just reward." "A little girl is born, and the father sends her seven brothers to fetch the water for her christening. Angry at their delay, he wishes that his sons would all turn into ravens, and unhappily, his wish comes true. When grown, the sister learns of her brothers' fate, and sets off to the ends of the earth to find them. Often weary and afraid, she must overcome discouragement and pain in order to set her brothers free." "When the little girl in the red cap puts her basket over her arm and sets off through the woods to grandmother's house, one of the best-loved fairy tales of all time unfolds."
