Hansel and Gretel are children who must outwit adults and save their little family.  They live in a “time of great scarcity” and are abandoned by their parents, who fear the whole family will starve.  They find their way deep in the woods to a magical bread house which is an evil witch who means to make them her means of sustenance.  Listen for our summary and analysis of this tale which involves role reversals, symbolic killing, birds as ferriers, calculation vs. faith, and of course good versus evil! 

(Sorry about the bad sound on my end.  It’s been corrected in future episodes.)
