Story Teller Part 9: The Pied Piper of Hamelin (Magazine & Tape)

WHAT IS THIS STORY ABOUT? The Pied Piper of Hamelin: In 1284 the German town of Hamelin was overrun by rats, then 'lost' all its children to the rat-catcher. And an isolated community in Transylvania still claims that its ancestors came as children from a distant land, led by a piper. Could this darkly compelling story, preserved over hundreds of years, be based on actual facts? Narrated by Robert Powell, illustrated by Roger Langton and music composed by Bruce Campbell. WHAT IS STORY TELLER? Story Teller was a series of magazines published by Marshall Cavendish from December 1982 and throughout 1983 as a fortnightly part-work. Each magazine contained a selection of children's stories from traditional folk tales to contemporary works written especially for the series. It also included poems. The stories were accompanied by lavish colour artwork and an audio cassette tape featuring music, sound effects and narration by professional actors and celebrities of the time, including Richard Briers, Sheila Hancock, Derek Jacobi, and Nigel Lambert. Digitisation, restoration and video production by Darren J Prescott for Story Teller TV. A Neon Dreamstar production.
