The Pied Piper of Hamelin and Other Favourite Poems by Anton Lesser (Narrator), Anne Harvey (Narrator), Katinka Wolf (Narrator), Jan Fielden (Author), John Mole (Author)
This collection has a bit of classic poems. These poems are often "children's" poems, though the originals are often beyond the understanding of kids. The Pied Piper even has the children carried away by the piper.
Some people do stuff. Bad things happen. Then they die. The kid ends up doing well for himself at the end. There is a lot of detail in the middle.
