| Summary | "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" by Robert Browning is a children's poem that was likely written in the late 19th century. The book is a lyrical retelling of the classic folk tale about a mysterious piper who offers to rid a town of a rat infestation in exchange for a fee. The narrative revolves around themes of promise and consequence, as it highlights the townspeople’s broken commitments and the strange, magical events that unfold. In the story, the town of Hamelin faces a severe problem with rats, leading the frustrated townsfolk to seek a solution. They encounter the Piper, who promises to exterminate the vermin with his enchanting music. As he successfully leads the rats to their demise in the river, the town's leaders refuse to pay him the promised fee, prompting the Piper to use his magical abilities to lure away the town's children as a form of retribution. The poem concludes with the townspeople's profound loss and their futile attempts to reclaim the children, leaving a haunting reminder of the consequences of deceit and unfulfilled promises.
