The Pied Piper Investigated by Robert Symes
ROBERT BROWNING 'S famous poem about The Pied Piper has three irresistible ingredients: the mysterious stranger with magical music, the loathsome rats, and the vanishing children.
But how true is the story?
Could rats have been lured to their death in the River
Weser? And where might the Piper have taken the little children?
Robert Symes solves the mystery, on the day when Hamelin celebrates what it believes to be the 700th anniversary of the Piper's appearance.
