Life was easy for the people of Hamelin. But instead of being thankful, the townspeople were quite selfish. They thought only of their own pleasure and they even felt their own children were too much trouble. Then one day something terrible happened to Hamelin...
...This classic story is based on actual events that happened in 1284 in the real town of Hamelin, Germany. The renowned German legend of the mysterious Pied Piper and his enchanting pipe was popularized in a lengthy Victorian poem by Robert Browning. Award-winning artist Michele Lemieux's richly luminous illustrations and dramatic retelling will delight readers young and old.
