| | Interview | Bill Richardson |
 | | In After Hamelin, Richardson picks up the Pied Piper story pretty much from "the end." We are guided through the tale by Penelope, 101 years old in the story and looking back to her girlhood when she was the child left behind. |
 | | Richardson manages the tale with a delicate combination of dry wit, happy irony, high adventure and the merest touch of sadness. |
 | | At 45, Richardson lives in Vancouver with, as his most recent bio says, "two small dogs, a mean fl cat, and a harp on which he can play one tune." The tune proves to be Greensleeves and the cat isn't nearly as mean as the bio implies. |
