About this deal

Lorenzo Mattotti Hansel and Gretel Lorenzo Mattotti Hansel and Gretel house in distance Why the absence of colour? Among the fourteen illustrators with two Medals, Browne is one of seven with one book named to the top ten (1955–2005) and one of seven with at least one Highly Commended runner-up (1974–2002), led by Helen Oxenbury with four and Browne with two.

The children, Willard argues, must deal with the image of the split mother so that they can attain “a fully integrated image of the mother”. As for most Anthony Browne books, the visuals within the book provide a lot for children to engage with. On the other hand, good black-and-white pictures that emphasize line over shape can add energy to long books in which details of emotion and of setting might otherwise retard the action.

Anthony was the Children's Laureate 2009-2011 and used his time in the post to raise the profile of picture books and picture book illustration, as well as the value of supporting children's creativity and imagination.

However, once his help/authority has been accepted the father figure remains in control, continues to dictate the child’s life, and can be “benevolent or sadistic”.Anthony Browne's Hansel and Gretel, adapted from the translation by Eleanor Quarrie, has a distinctly contemporary feel. Cane sugar was a very costly commodity and had been imported from India or Arabia since the eleventh century. But Neil Gaiman does not shy away from the reality that some women do indeed lack mothering instincts, just as many men lack fathering instincts. The fact that this is a modern setting, with a TV and a step-mother who smokes cigarettes, and that they live in a brownstone detached house mean that the child reader can no longer pretend abandonment and famine happen only in ‘fairytale land’. A mysterious soldier appears and makes strange remarks about what beautiful dancing shoes Karen has.

Many fairy tales have their roots in a much darker past, but these origins are watered down to make the tales more wholesome or moral. Conversely, on a different page Hansel has been illustrated on the other side of the door and this is the only part of the house which is lit and bright, this demonstrates that Hansel is hoping to break free. Note all the different colours in the shadow of the ping-pong table — the shadow is as alive as the foliage.Even the blackest of spaces retains evidence of crosshatching in small bits of un-inked white, but not in the work of Mattotti. In the distance they noticed a little house and so they set off and wandered through the woods towards it.
