Reproduces a complete set of official Admiralty plans, all in full colour

Příběh o krysaři, jemuž starosta a radní města upřou odměnu za to, že zbavil město krys, a on se jim za to krutě pomstí, je založen na skutečnosti, ale známým se stal až řadou uměleckých zpracování. Po J. W. Goethovi, bratřích Grimmových atd. a před Waltem Disneyem či Viktorem Dykem nejproslulejší verzi tohoto příběhu vytvořil anglický básník Robert Browning (1812–1889). Kniha s původními ilustracemi Kate Greenawayové (1846–1901) a ve dvojjazyčné úpravě vychází v češtině poprvé.

This is one in a series of "Penguin Children's 60s" titles.

Renowned for his dramatic monologues, Robert Browning's literary journey began with early acclaim from figures like Rossetti and Dickens. His eclectic education fueled his diverse interests, though his career faced challenges with the complex Sordello. A transformative relationship with Elizabeth Barrett invigorated his work, leading to prolific writing in Italy. After her death, he produced notable works like Dramatis Personae and The Ring and the Book, solidifying his status as a significant Victorian poet before his passing in Venice in 1889.
