The Amazing Maurice and His Educated Rodents is a children's fantasy novel by British writer Terry Pratchett, published by Doubleday in 2001. It is the twenty-eighth novel in the Discworld series and the first written for children. The story is a new take on the German fairy tale about the Pied Piper of Hamelin[1] and a parody of the folk tale genre.[2]
Pratchett won the annual Carnegie Medal from the British librarians, recognising the year's best children's book published in the U.K.[2] It was his first major award.[1]
