There is much to praise in this retelling of Browning's classic poem. The book is a small masterpiece of design, from the rat-interlaced vines on the endpapers to the fine quality of the paper. Verses are set off with calligraphy letters and delicate pen-and-ink designs which highlight the maroon of the cover. The detailed black-and-white illustrations evoke the despair and delight of the citizens of Hamelin. Barbara Chatton, College of Education, University of Wyoming, Laramie

The cover of this book feels padded; it gives a little when you squeeze it.

This book is a delightful version of the classic poem by Robert Browning. This copy makes it understandable for the youngest child. Nicely illustrated as well.
