Charlotte Chorpenning has taken the Grimm Brothers' story and given it a poetic beauty that brings a value to its young audience. Her treatment of the stepmother does not accent the cruelty, an outlook important today. The evil witch is portrayed as a comedy character, but the teaching value is there, teaching through a comedy device rather than fear. Hansel and Gretel's safe return to their father and mother gives the child a sense of security.
