Berthe Amoss
Hansel and Gretel, an Advent calendar
Calendar
(More Than a Card July 1, 1999)
This three-dimensional Advent calendar is based on Engelbert Humperdinck's opera, Hansel and Gretel. Humperdinck's charming story is told behind the 24 windows in words and illustrations by Berthe Amoss, children's book author and illustrator. The opera was first performed in Weimar, Germany, on December 23, 1893. Based on the well-known fairy tale, the opera retelling is far more gentle than Grimm's harsh folk tale. Open the 24 windows, one each day beginning December 1, and follow the enchanting story. This package includes the following: a three-dimensional gingerbread house which assembles instantly, a retelling of the story, 24 hidden windows with words and illustrations behind the windows, an envelope for convenient mailing of the gingerbread house, a cardboard stiffener which ensures that the calendar can be mailed without damage, and a convenient, resealable poly bag. Size: 5 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 7 1/2.
