Publisher's Synopsis
A beautiful edition of one of the most enduring and haunting tales by the Brothers Grimm
The town of Hamelin is overrun by a plague of rats, and the mayor calls on the Pied Piper to lead them out, taking care of the problem. But when the townspeople refuse to pay him, the Pied Piper entices the local children to leave their homes and parents. Lisbeth Zwerger's evocative and exquisite illustrations perfectly capture this renowned fairy tale.
