I wonder if that’ll be next year’s release or if he’s got something else to hit us with first. I never really know how quickly his books go to print once he’s finished them off.

I'm just happy they are still coming along regularly. I've enjoyed them all.

King To Narrate Audio Edition Of Hansel And Gretel​

Section: Book » Hansel & Gretel
HarperCollins Publishers announced today that King will narrate the digital audio edition of the picture book Hansel and Gretel, a reimagining of the Brothers Grimm fairytale, retold by Stephen King, with artwork by Maurice Sendak, the Caldecott Medal–winning creator of Where the Wild Things Are. HANSEL AND GRETEL Unabridged Audio Edition will be available for download in the U.S. and Canada from HarperCollins Audio and in the United Kingdom by Hodder Children’s Books, part of Hachette Children’s Group, on September 2, 2025.

Hansel and Gretel brings together two creative legends, each unparalleled in their genius and influence, shaping the literary landscape for kids and adults alike for more than sixty years. In this audio edition, Stephen King brings his signature voice to the classic fairytale of two brave children lost in an eerie and dangerous forest. In the tradition of all the best classic fairy tales, which are meant to be enjoyed aloud, this captivating audiobook makes the perfect gift for fans of King, Sendak, and Grimm fairytales.

“Stephen King's reading of Hansel and Gretel is captivating and thrilling, bringing new depth to this classic tale,” said Lynn Caponera, executive director of The Maurice Sendak Foundation.

In a 1997 behind-the-scenes interview with the producer of the Hansel and Gretel opera, Maurice Sendak said, “‘Hansel and Gretel’ is the most profound of all Grimm fairy tales. Generally speaking, most of Grimm is about heroic children. Hansel and Gretel are the most heroic of them all. . . . It’s the toughest story in the world and people are afraid of it, yet it’s famous because it’s so truthful.” (The Art of Maurice Sendak: 1980 to the Present by Tony Kushner)

“When I was asked if I might be interested in writing a new interpretation of ‘Hansel and Gretel,’ bending it to fit (loosely) with set and costume designs Maurice Sendak had created for the Humperdinck opera of the story, I was interested,” said Stephen King. “When I saw the pictures themselves, I resolved to give it a try. Two of his pictures in particular spoke to me: One was of the wicked witch on her broom with a bag of kidnapped children riding behind her; the other was of the infamous candy house becoming a terrible face. I thought, This is what the house really looks like, a devil sick with sin, and it only shows that face when the kids turn their backs. I wanted to write that! To me, it was the essence of this story and, really, all fairy tales: a sunny exterior, a dark and terrible center, brave and resourceful children. In a way, I have been writing about kids like Hansel and Gretel for much of my life.”
