I just saw this today.

From the Stephen King Newsletter:

Hansel and Gretel: On Sale 9/2/25!

The haunting tale of two brave children lost in a dark and dangerous forest, reimagined by literary legends Stephen King and Maurice Sendak in an all-new picture book coming this fall.

Let Stephen King, global bestselling and award-winning author, and Maurice Sendak, beloved creator of the Caldecott Medal–winning Where the Wild Things Are, guide you into the most deliciously daring rendition of the classic Grimm fairy tale yet. But will you find your way back out?

With a personal introduction from Stephen King, the beautiful book has been created in close collaboration with the Maurice Sendak Foundation and it will be available in most English-language markets on September 2nd, 2025.

Hansel and Gretel

How is this coming together? Did Sendak do this art for a previous book? Is a ballet design like nutcracker?
I’m excited!

Oh, sounds good!

The illustrations are those done by Sendak for his scenic design of Humperdinck's Hansel and Greta opera.

Thanks for the information!
