The Pied Piper of Hamelin by Robert Browning illustrated by Kate Greenaway

Beautiful Victorian illustrations
The format and word choice make this poem a bit difficult to understand, but once we started reading, we found the rhythm.  A glossary in the back defines some of the old-fashion words.
This poem shares how the town of Hamelin was over run with rats and the consequences of the leadership not paying the Pied Piper.
The topic may freak some kids out.
-Borrowed from the library.
