The Brixen Witch

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by John Nickle. Reimagining the legend of the Pied Piper, DeKeyser adds a backstory and significant new characters, empowers the children, and builds to a satisfyingly different outcome. Farm lad Rudi finds, then loses, a golden guilder belonging to the titular witch--an ominous event since she's believed to be vindictive. The author lays the ground for her cliffhanger of a denouement well.
