Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this first book in Russell Brand’s Trickster Tales series, the famed comedian, actor, and bestselling author delivers a hilarious retelling of an old fairytale favorite that will appeal to adults and children alike. Once upon a time, long ago, in a time that seemed, to those present, exactly like now except their teeth weren’t so clean and more things were wooden, there was a town called Hamelin. The people of Hamelin were a pompous bunch who loved themselves and their town so much that if it were possible they would have spent all day zipped up in a space suit smelling their own farts. But space suits hadn’t been invented yet so they couldn’t. Then one day without warning a gang of rats bowled into the town and began causing a right rumpus… So begins Russell Brand’s wildly funny and surprisingly wise retelling of the classic tale The Pied Piper of Hamelin. Whether you’re a kid or a grown-up kid, you’ll be chuckling the whole way through this zany story that bypasses Brand’s more adult humor for the outrageous, the madcap, and the just plain silly. Maybe you’ve heard about the Pied Piper before, with his strange music and those pompous townspeople and pesky rats. Or maybe you haven’t. But one thing is for sure: you’ve never heard it quite like this.

Book excerpt: Set against the devastation that was France after Dunkirk, this is the story of a strange journey. The characters are a seventy-year-old Englishman, a young and beautiful French girl, and a group of children of various nationalities. When John Howard decides to end his holiday in the Jura Mountains, knowing nothing about the crumbling of the western front, he agrees to escort two young English children across France and home to England. The children are excited at the prospect of fresh experiences--and the man is worried that he has accepted a task that he is not well-fitted to fulfill. The journey starts. At first it is fun. But very soon the war makes itself felt. Trains have stopped--busses are being attacked--roads are choked with refugees. And John Howard takes on heavier responsibilities as his little band grows, child after child, mile after mile. At Chartres fate brings him surprising aid in the person of Nicole, who will help him on toward Brest. The children, to whom John Howard is father and mother combined, play about him quite undaunted by the tragic scenes. But travel becomes more difficult and hazardous, the danger of discovery greater--until their arrival at the coast and the realization of their worst fears. It is then that the courage of the old Englishman is put to the severest test. --

Shunned by her village because of her disability, her only comfort comes from her vivid imagination. Maggie has a gift for inventing stories and dreams of one day finding her fairy-tale love. When Maggie meets the mysterious Piper, it seems that all her wishes are coming true. Spellbound, Maggie falls hard for him and plunges headfirst into his magical world. But as she grows closer to the Piper, Maggie discovers that he has a dark side.
