A beautiful edition of this classic retelling by master storyteller
Michael Morpurgo, with glorious illustrations by Emma Chichester
Clark. In the town of Hamelin, the rich and greedy live like kings
and queens while the poor and sick scavenge rubbish tips for
scraps. A lame orphan boy tells the classic tale of how a plague of
rats takes over the town and how a fantastic piper offers to rid
Hamelin of its rats for a single gold coin, then lures away the
town’s children when the greedy mayor breaks his word.
Masterfully weaving contemporary social and environmental themes
into a gripping tale, and celebrating it with breath-taking
illustrations, former British Children’s Laureate Michael
Morpurgo and illustrator Emma Chichester Clark team up to create a
compelling new take on this timeless story.
