The Pied Piper of Hamelin with Kate Greenaway illustrations is a tale concerning the mysterious disappearance of a great number of children from a town in Lower Saxony, Germany originating in the Middle Ages. This particular version (in the form of a childrens poem) is penned by Robert Browning (1812 1889), an English playwright and lyricist whose mastery of dramatic verse made him one of the foremost Victorian poets. As a testament to both Brownings skill and the stunning illustrations of Kate Greenaway, this book has remained in print since its original publication. Kate Greenaway (1846 1901), was a childrens book illustrator and writer, and remains one of the most popular illustrators of all time. Edmund Evans produced her first book (Under the Window) in 1879, which was an instant bestseller and cemented her preeminent position. Kate Greenaway illustrations typically depict charming children in quaint costumes and idyllic scenes captured the imagination of the contemporary public and continue to delight over a century after their initial publication. Presented alongside the text, her illustrations (first published in 1888) further refine and elucidate Brownings masterful storytelling. Pook Press celebrates the great Golden Age of Illustration in childrens literature. We publish rare and vintage classic illustrated books, in highquality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and storytelling can continue to delight both young and old.
