Hansel and Gretel

Hansel and Gretal

The story of Hansel and Gretel as we know it first appeared in Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm’s collection of fairy tales, published sometime between 1812 and 1815. Grimm’s stories were based on folk tales that had previously been told in oral storytelling traditions. The episode Gingerbread takes a lot of elements from Hansel and Gretel. Additionally, Xander following a trail of chocolate in Nightmares is inspired by the trail of breadcrumbs in the fairytale Hansel and Gretel.
In Couplet, Angel says, “It’s better than breadcrumbs.”
