Pied Piper of Hamelin

Hamelin's rat problem and the stranger who solved it has been retold for centuries, and this OM Books edition presents the legend for young readers. The narration follows the town's infestation, the bargain struck with the piper and what happens when the townspeople break their word. Illustrations accompany the text throughout, and the telling keeps the eerie edge that has kept the story alive without tipping into something frightening. Themes of promises made and broken sit plainly enough for a child to discuss afterwards. Worth noting: • A retelling of the Hamelin legend pitched at young readers • Illustrated pages supporting the narrative on every spread • Clear treatment of trust, bargains and consequences • Reading length suited to a single storytime session Suitable for children exploring folklore, along with parents and teachers who use traditional tales in lessons, this OM Books edition is available at Boipoka.
