Hänsel’s Stepmother
The dark truth behind a well-know tale – watch on Storyflix
Unlike virtually all the tales I tell, this is not a traditional tale – but it is a possible backstory to the Hänsel and Gretel fairy tale.
It came from a challenge Suzanne Whitby set attendees of her Story Café. And the result proved to be just the story to contribute to the Storyflix New Beginnings theme to celebrate World Storytelling Day, 2021.
My thanks to Suzanne for forcing me into this!
