New York: Riverhead Press, 2019. SIGNED. New. First Edition. First printing with complete 10 number line starting with 1. Signed by Helen Oyeyemi on the title page at a book signing at Strand Bookstore in New York. The unread book is tight and square with solid hinges, sharp tips, and clean unmarred boards. Textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate, or markings and not BCE, ex-library or remaindered. The dust jacket is unclipped ($27.00) and Fine. Protected in a new Brodart Mylar cover.

Oyeyemi turns her eye to the story of Hansel and Gretel, the classic German fairy tale about a brother and sister who make a violent escape from a witch's house. Her novel isn't a retelling; rather, it approaches the story with the sly obliqueness that's become one of Oyeyemi's trademarks. And just like her previous books, it's both stunningly beautiful and breathtakingly original.
