'I've freed other towns of beetles and bats---and for a tidy sum, I'll rid you of your rats!' An offer the townsmen couldn't refuse, until he was done and there was money to lose. This beautifully illustrated heirloom edition of Browning's poem of broken promises and tragic consequences features acid-free paper, a gold-stamped cover, and a silk ribbon marker. 110 pages, cloth-sewn hardcover from Knopf.
