The Grimms’ tales are serious stories about children alone in horrible situations. You’ve probably heard the one about a brother and sister whose parents abandon them in the woods. A witch locks Hansel inside a shed, and plans to fatten him up and then eat him. But his sister, Gretel, shoves the witch in the oven instead. Tatar’s version glitters with everyday details of wicked predation and quiet survival.
