The tale is a lockdown project which got out of hand. A love letter to my now fully grown children and newly arrived, but geographically distant, granddaughter.
Like many parents, I read aloud the Pied Piper of Hamelin, a dark tale which originates in 12th century Germany. With a little imagination and added local references it was transformed into the Pied Piper of Hanley, a title easily accepted as fact until the children reached early teen years.
Florence Lane's excellent Illustrations for the book were selected from submissions by Staffordshire University BA Hons Illustration students.
Many thanks to Florence and the other students for their interest.
The video is self-read, and animated by Christopher Patrick Illustration using Florence's illustrations.
