The Pied Piper of Hamelin | Book Covers
Pied means having two or more colors. In this cover the idea is to enhance that his flute is also multicolor, in the story magic of the pattern and the color of his music manages to bewitch the rats and children of Hamelin. The type is also represented with the same color pattern in order to convey that message.
