Pied Piper of Hamelin: Illustrated
Pied Piper of Hamelin: Illustrated | Robert Browning
3 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
The Pied Piper of Hamelin is the subject of a legend from the town of Hamelin, Lower Saxony, Germany, in the Middle Ages. The earliest references describe a piper, dressed in multicolored clothing, who was a rat-catcher hired by the town to lure rats away with his magic pipe. But then the citizens refuse to pay for this service, and he retaliates by using his instrument's magic power on their children, leading them away like he did with the rats. This version of the tale is beautifully illustrated by Kate Greenaway.

3.5 stars

The poem is an interesting and rhythmic piece of folklore. As a children‘s book, however, I don‘t really think it works. I believe there are other wonderful ways to introduce children to the world of poetry. I feel the language in the poem would be incredibly difficult for a child to keep up with and although the story within it offers an important lesson, it is also rather dark.

I did enjoy seeing the illustrations in the book.

A teeny little #FolioSociety edition. It was a freebie (from years ago) and even has a tiny slipcase. 😆
