Publisher Notes
Robert Browning's timeless tale of the Pied Piper is given new life here in the exciting paintings of award-winning illustrator Bud Peen. The Pied Piper is hired to rid Hamelin town of its rats. He plays his pipe so entrancingly that the rats follow him out of town into a nearby river and drown. But when the greedy townspeople refuse to pay the Piper, he blows his pipe again in revenge, and leads all the town's children away to live forever in an enchanted land. Peen's brilliantly colored illustrations, which were electronically painted on the computer screen, breathe fresh life into this familiar tale and its important moral lesson.
Synopses
The Pied Piper piped the village free of rats and when the villagers refused to pay him for the service he piped away their children too.
