The Bremen Musicians

By Buck Telford

A story about starting again, and making a joyful noise together.

An old donkey sets off for Bremen to become a town musician. Along the way, a dog, a cat, and a rooster join him, and the four discover that the best place to belong may be the one they make together. A warm retelling of the classic tale about friendship, fresh starts, and a very loud song.

This is the Brothers Grimm tale the way it was meant to be read aloud: warm, gently funny, and kind. Full-page watercolor illustrations carry the four friends down the long road through their first muddled song, past a cottage with strangers who would not share, and all the way to the biggest song Bremen never heard.

Retold by Buck Telford, with art by Red Papyrus Studio. Published by Inkwood Lane, an imprint of Quillo Books.
