The Magic Circle
Donna J. Napoli
Puffin Books, 1995
ISBN: 0-14-037439-6 (paperback)
A midwife-sorceress, tricked by the devil's minions, loses her gifts, is forced to become a witch, and lives her life alone in the forest, until two children--named Hansel and Gretel--wander by.
As she did in The Prince of the Pond, Donna Jo Napoli gives the classic fairy tale Hansel and Gretel an entirely new twist. This "brilliantly conceived and beautifully executed novel" -(School Library Journal, starred review) will captivate readers. "Mesmerizing,"--Kirkus Reviews, pointer review. |
