Literary Gingerbread
The Brothers Grimm’s Hansel & Gretel likely put Gingerbread Houses on the map! Some years later in 1875 another tale, The Gingerbread Man who runs away captured the public imagination and spawned many variants. The Gingerbread Boy, rather than a man, is from the US - with even a cowboy version. The book on the far left is an urban update with subways, fire escapes and construction workers. It seems we can’t get enough gingerbread whether it is edible or fictional.

 Popular variant of the tale set in modern day New York!

 Hansel puts out a bone and fools the blind witch into thinking he is not fat for the oven.
