The Pied Piper of Hamelin

內容簡介

內容簡介 法國插畫家Thomas Baas筆下的《吹笛人》，大開本設計，以冷調深色為畫面主色，搭配紅色系色彩穿插畫面細節，並以可愛、簡約的角色插圖風格，完美詮釋流傳歐洲的百年傳說《吹笛人》，使得這個充滿神秘色彩的故事，以繪本的角度品讀起來亦別有另一番風味。Through a bold palette, the legend of the Pied Piper is artfully enlivened. The Pied Piper of Hamelin is set in the north of Germany in the year 1283. It is nearly Christmas and the townspeople are ready to celebrate when a rodent infestation interrupts their everyday lives. The mayor announces a seemingly straightforward proposition: rid the town of the rats and be given one thousand gold coins. A stranger with a small pipe entices the rats beyond the town gates, but when he is unfairly denied his reward, the story takes an unexpected turn. Fictional or historical, the medieval legend of the Pied Piper has long fascinated generations of readers with its swarm of rats drawn away by a cloaked stranger and his magical melodies. Now, the beloved tale is given new life with Thomas Baas' contemporary illustrations in a vibrantly dark palette of blues and reds. The mysterious tale helps teach and reinforce the importance of keeping one's word and the consequences of broken promises."
