Many renowned authors and celebrities including Russel Brand (with Trickster Tales) have tried to re-tell the famous legend of the Pied Piper of Hamelin and failed to capture the imagination of many readers alike.

But that has not stopped many fans and journalist from trying to find out what happened to the missing children.

Enter Michael J. Sceptre, a relatively unknown British-Zimbabwean, (just like Paula Hawkins of Girl On The Train), indie author who has decided to take on the mammoth task of not just re-telling the story but to continue the works of Robert Browning and turn the Pied Piper from VILLAIN to HERO!

“Most people know about the famous story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin but the reason why its not the most loved story is because of the mystery and negativity around the missing children! Many journalist, notably from the BBC have tried in vain to investigate the origins of the folklore and find out what happened to the children but with no success.” said the indie author.

“Being an aspiring dramatist I think I have found a novel way of bringing back the Pied Piper from literary obscurity and hopefully win over readers with his wit and personality!” Said Michael when asked how he planned to make people fall in love with the Pied Piper again.
