... in 1376, the events of The Pied Piper of Hamelin took place.
"Hamelin Town's in Brunswick
By Famous Hanover City;
The river Weser, deep and wide,
A pleasanter spot you never spied;
But, when begins my ditty,
Almost five hundred years ago,
To see the townsfolk suffer so
From Vermin, was a pity."
etc.
one of my faves for public readings. one of these years ...
