A lo largo de un periplo lleno de oscuros peligros, conoceremos el origen real de muchas historias de cuento. ¿De dónde vienen las casas comestibles, las migas de pan o las propias brujas?

Es war einmal eine Zeit, in der waren Märchen richtig, richtig toll. Was nun folgt, ist ein Märchen. "Ein Märchen?", wirst du vielleicht denken. Märchen sind doch Kinderkram! Doch in diesem Märchen hüpfen keine kleinen Mädchen mit roten Kappen fröhlich durch den Wald. Was zwischen diesen Seiten auf sie lauert ist die wahre Geschichte von Hänsel und Gretel - ein Märchen voller dunkler Zauberer, gefährlicher Hexen und todbringender Drachen. Dieses Märchen ist vielleicht furchterregend, sicherlich blutig und definitiv nichts für Angsthasen; aber anders als alle anderen Märchen, die du kennst, ist dieses hier wahr. (Quelle: Homepage des Verlags).
