Colorful pen and ink pictures are found in each 2 page spread adding depth and dimension to this version of the classic fairy tale about the Pied Piper of Hamelin. Detailed historical information is included in the Afterword information at the end of the text.  It includes speculation that the Pied Piper story may have been created to disguise an attack of the plague.

This book would be a great addition to a picture book or fairy tale collection.
