The Pied Piper of Hamelin is a known tale about a man who rids a town of their rat infestation. However, when the mayor refuses to pay the man what he's owed, the Pied Piper disappears and returns to take the town's children. This is a great mystery book that makes readers wonder what happened after the story has ended. Originally published as Der Rattenfänger von Hameln, Barbara Bartos-Höppner's retelling of the legend of the lost children of Hamelin is one of five versions of this story in my personal library, and the only one produced by a German. The prose narrative, ably translated by the indefatigable Anthea Bell, has a more ambiguous conclusion than that usually supplied by English-language editions, which often take Robert Browning's famous poem as their inspiration. The colorful illustrations by Annegert Fuchshuber have a mysterious, almost hypnotic quality, particularly in those scenes in which the piper is heading away from the viewer. The compelling sense of motion in these paintings, of being pulled in a particular direction, is quite appropriate to the tale, and a testament to the artist's skill. Although not my favorite retelling of this story - an honor split between Sara and Stephen Corrin's retelling and that of Robert Holden - this edition has great appeal, and is well worth the time and attention of any reader interested in the tale of the mysterious piper and his fateful revenge. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

I actually thought that I might struggle with this a little at first because I wasn't sure how the students would react to the fact that he took them all away from their parents, but I think you could turn it around and teach them about how not to talk to strangers, and so on. ( )
