The Tale of the Pied Piper (Paperback)

Paperback. The name of the Pied Piper is often used as a metaphor to describe someone who has a lot of charisma and can attract followers or supporters. But the German story from the Middle Ages weaves a more sinister story about a rat catcher who lures away the village children out of revenge. In this book, young readers will learn about the mythical piper and how his story likely ties into Europe's history of plague. Informative fact boxes and approachable text will appeal to young readers and encourage independent reading.
