In the town of Hamelin, the rich and greedy live like kings and queens while the poor and sick scavenge rubbish tips for scraps. A lame orphan boy tells the classic tale of how a plague of rats takes over the town and how a fantastic piper offers to rid Hamelin of its rats for a single gold coin, then lures away the town's children when the greedy mayor breaks his word. Masterfully weaving contemporary social and environmental themes into a gripping tale, and celebrating it with breath-taking illustrations, former British Children's Laureate Michael Morpurgo and illustrator Emma Chichester Clark team up to create a compelling new take on this timeless story.","brand":"Scotia Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41038734459063,"sku":"9781406369007","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/5629\/7143\/files\/9781406369007_396e3ff4-3722-4785-bc06-2baaec7c8989.jpg?v=1756976330","url":"https:\/\/www.scotiabooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9781406369007","provider":"scotia-books-online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
