Based on a favorite nursery legend, Haensel and Gretel, with its delightfully refreshing, heart-gladdening music, is one of the most popular and best-loved of all operas.
All the charm of simple wonder surrounds this tale of two children lost in the woods who come upon a little house whose walls and roofs are made of cake and sweets and whose fence is made of gingerbread. Alas, the house is owned by a wicked old witch who tries to bake Haensel in a large oven...
The tale is delightfully told with simple text and colorful pictures and many of the lovely musical themes are included.Description taken from the inside of the book's dust jacket.
