Porky Pig #49
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Pied Piper'ess of Hamlitz," Henery Hawk takes a surprisingly literary approach to his chicken-catching scheme—turning to poetry instead of traps. With a borrowed book and a whispery recitation, he lures the flock to his home, only to be outsmarted when Lena uncovers his true intentions. A delightfully twisted tale from 1956, with art and lettering by Vivie Risto and a cover by Ralph Heimdahl.

Henery Hawk decides he wants to catch more than one chicken at a time so he tries something different. He tries being helpful and reading poetry out loud. The chickens like to hear him read so they go to his home to listen. He starts whispering as he reads so that they will have to come inside but Lena goes in first and sees that he is reading a book about how to prepare chicken. They overpower him with their numbers and force him to read real poems to them.
