The Pied Piper of Hamelin is a classic tale concerning the curious case of a great number of children vanishing from their hometown in Lower Saxony, Germany. Originating in the Middle Ages, this dark story has been retold in the form of a children’s poem by Robert Browning. The lyricist’s mastery of dramatic verse made him one of the foremost Victorian poets. Accompanying his gorgeous writing is the dazzling artwork of Arthur Rackham. One of the most prominent artists of the Golden Age of Illustration, Rackham’s magical paintings breathe life into this volume.
