About this title

From the Publisher:

Thai artist Niroot Puttapipat takes one of the Brothers Grimm’s best-loved fairy tales and wryly retells it from the point of view of the animals. His stunning illustrations, setting the story in the early seventeenth century, make this a unique edition to treasure. A compelling endnote mentions other historical versions of the traditional tale and explains why the author chose to set his narrative in the 1600s – an era that offered the chance to highlight some of the great musical composers of the time.

About the Author:

NIROOT PUTTAPIPAT grew up in Thailand, the grandson of a Lan Na Thai princess. As a child, he often spent time drawing and acting out stories, leading to a lifelong interest in art and literature. Niroot Puttapipat says he was intrigued by the story of THE MUSICIANS OF BREMEN because of his love of music and his passion for drawing animals, particularly birds. A recent graduate of Kingston University, he now lives in London. THE MUSICIANS OF BREMEN is his first full-length picture book.
