The novel refers to the motive of the Pied Piper of Hamelin just as well as to Cinderella. It might be understood as some kind of amalgam between the two motives. I dont' think it is an alternative account of cinderella, as said in the article. It tells the story of a charakter which in the Grimm's version of the fairy tale does not even exist. His motives and conflicts do not refer to any of the fairy tale's. At least not to those on the surface. By the way. The plot, as layed down in the article, is only about half of the tale an ignores not even half of the story but also some very important charakters. Being no english native speaker I don't consider myself being fit enough to rewrite it even though it has to be done! --141.15.33.1 (talk) 09:23, 2 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
