Real pied pipers do exist, with flutes that can charm rats away, but Keith and the rats are simply pretending. The rats pretend to be a plague and the boy arrives, claiming he can lure them away with his music in exchange for money. He is the leader of a group of rats who go town to town, scamming villagers with the help of a boy piper called Keith. The titular character is a cat called Maurice. Although all books in the series deal with fantastical elements, this is the first written specifically for a young audience. It is the twenty-first installment of Pratchett’s popular Discworld series, which tells the stories of various magical characters on an imaginary disc-shaped planet called Discworld. The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents is a 2001 novel by acclaimed British sci-fi and fantasy writer Terry Pratchett.
