The timeless story of The Pied Piper of Hamelin is given a whole new look in this lively new treatment. The story has been adapted for modern readers and flows easily from page to page, with variety in the font size to emphasise the action of the story and dramatic points as it unfolds.
Anyone who has read the traditional story will remember that it’s about a small town that is overrun by a plague of rats. The people try many different ways to rid themselves of these pests, without success. Then a visiting musician comes up with a solution. In the original story he pipes the rats out of town, but this more modern version has an imaginative twist at the end.
The illustrations accompanying the story by Ayesha L Rubio are exuberant and expressive. Romping energetically through the book in mostly double-page spreads, Rubio’s work is packed with action and colour, and her use of palette and scenery reflect the architecture of the small German town.
A modern twist to the classic tale, with a message about fairness and responsibility - featuring some very opinionated, strong-willed children, and some very clever, friendly rats!

Ayesha L. Rubio was born in Madrid, Spain, one cold evening in February.

Like many other children, she loved to draw. Unfortunately for her family, any surface was an empty canvas for her. One day her grandfather taught her to draw horses and choose paper, instead of furniture or walls, as a better material to draw on.

Years later, she studied Fine Arts in Spain and England and began to work as an illustrator and writer, collaborating with publishers worldwide.

With her nomadic spirit, she has lived in Spain, the UK, and the USA and spent some time in México and Finland too.

Ayesha writes and illustrates children's books working for different clients around the world.
