The Witch of Duva - Hansel and Gretel, Nibble Nibble Mousekin by Joan Walsh Anglund
Kind of referenced in Crooked Kingdom alongside Little Knife reference
“Hansel and Gretel.” My favorite version of that particular story was the creepily titled Nibble Nibble Mousekin by Joan Walsh Anglund, and it wasn’t the cannibal witch who bothered me. It wasn’t even the selfish stepmother. For me, the real villain was Hansel and Gretel’s father, a man so weak-willed, so cowardly, that he let his wicked wife send his children into the woods to die twice. Don’t go back, I would whisper as we approached the inevitable final illustration—happy father reunited with children, evil stepmother banished—and I was always left with a feeling of unease as I turned the last page.”
