Holden's poetic interpretation reads smoothly enough, but it is Drahos Zak's astonishing illustrations which really make this title worthwhile. His tall Piper is matched by the tall book itself, and seems to dominate any scene in which he appears. Hamelin itself is a masterpiece of tottering medieval architecture, with some details left unfinished, as if still in the planning phase. I was reminded a bit of Escher's dizzying constructions. Zak's people (save the Piper) are rather squat, and their faces have a Gorey-esque quality to them that is eerie, but compelling. The most powerful scene, to my mind, is the one in which one of the burghers' true, rat-like nature is revealed - a nightmarish spread in which a rat rises up out of the man's shadow, towering above him. A true visual treat, and highly recommended to anyone looking for a good retelling of this tale! ( )
