"An enticing and occasionally gory introduction to the master of flat earth.. proves that the Pied Piper of Hamelin was a front for an insider-dealing scam... alongside the gags and pest-control politics, there are enough complex ideas about nature, nurture and understanding to satisfy a wide audience." "--Observer""One of Terry Pratchett's funniest creations of recent years... It all adds up to a wonderful book... hilarious, brilliantly constructed and, especially towards its conclusion, shot through with an edginess to balance the laughs." --"SFX" "A brilliant and bizarre reworking of that well-known folk tale about the Pied Piper of Hamelin." --"School Librarian"
