Hansel and Gretel walk out of their own story and into eight
other classic Grimm and Grimm-inspired fairy tales. An
irreverent, witty narrator leads us through encounters with
witches, warlocks, dragons, and the devil himself. As the siblings
roam a forest brimming with menacing foes, they learn the true
story behind the famous tales, as well as how to take charge of
their destinies and create their own happily ever after. Because
once upon a time, fairy tales were awesome.
