This facsimile of Robert Browning's The Pied Piper of Hamelin, A Child’s Story is beautifully illustrated and colored by T. W. Craik and W. A. Craik. BlazeVOX presents for the first time this wonderful edition, originally created in 1959 as a gift by the illustrators to their young son. Robert Browning's poem captures the mysterious nature of the Piper legend and the resplendent, rich time period in which the tale took place, which has inspired many great illustrators such as Kate Greenaway, Arthur Rackham, Margaret Tarant, and Maxfield Parrish. The dramatic events that Browning recorded in 1842 marvelously unfold in the Craiks' illustrations. The pages have bold, imaginative drawings, deep lines, rich colors and fine (often idiosyncratic) details. From the pillaging rats to the gluttonous council members, every pen and brush stroke brings Browning's moral home. This work contains over 40 illustrated pages with hand lettering and includes a foreword by Roger Craik detailing this book’s creation by his parents. This unique book is intended for all ages.

Everyone knows the story. The rates were everywhere. Then, the people devided that something must be done. They went to the Mayor crying out for action. Then enters the magical Pied Pier, who claimed that he could rid the town of the rats for a handsome sum. The rats were vanished, the Mayor wouldn't pay, and in revenge, the Piper spirited away all the children of the town into a wondrous portal that opened up in the hillside. They all disappeared except for one poor boy who was lame and lagged behind. The moral of the story: if you make a promise, you must keep it. Illustrated with Kate Greenaway's beautiful drawings.
