Robert Browning The Pied Piper Of Hamelin Hardcover Book

First published in 1842, Robert Brownings poetic version of the legend about the lost children of Hamelin is subtitled A Childs Story and was originally intended only for the private enjoyment of Willie Macready, young son of the famous actor. Once in print, it became a perennial favourite with generations of children (and compilers of poetry anthologies for children!) Kate Greenaways illustrations, engraved by her regular printer Edmund Evans, were first published in 1888 and have become as popular as the poem itself, being considered by John Ruskin to be her finest work. | Robert Browning The Pied Piper Of Hamelin Hardcover Book
