Hansel & Gretel

Tonight’s bedtime storytelling is the story of Hansel and Gretel, a German fairytale collected by the Brother’s Grimm, about siblings are are abandoned in the forest and fall into the hands of a witch who lives in a gingerbread house. The witch locks Hansel in an iron cage and his sister Gretel saves him and they both escape with the witch’s treasure. Listener Note: Tonight's episode features a traditional, unedited version of a classic folklore tale. Because authentic vintage fairy tales often contain intense atmospheric themes and suspenseful plot points, we recommend that parents and guardians preview the story first to ensure it matches their child's comfort level.
