Fairy tale, collected by the Grimm brothers.
Hansel and Gretel are children abandoned in
the forest by their poor parents. They find a
cottage made of gingerbread and are captured
by the child-eating witch who lives there,
but escape by wit and ingenuity. The happy
ending reunites them with their parents. The
story was made into a children's opera by
Humperdinck in 1893.
