Abstract

This article’s goal is to explore the story of The Pied Piper of Hamelin. In order to do so, social aspects of childhood in the (probable) time when the story was created are presented, as well as some curiosities about the text. Furthermore, this paper brings a personal statement (by the authors) of a storytelling activity in a public school nursery in Porto Alegre, based upon the version of the book The Pied Piper of Hamelin, by Tatiana Belinky. After some questions and informal conversation about the tale, the children’s verbal expositions were analyzed. The research brings, as a theoretical background, contributions of studies from authors connected, mainly, to the field of Children’s Literature and Education. It brought the conclusion that the piper’s story motivated representative interventions, since during the storytelling activity children used typical aspects of their culture and also showed their dominium of temporal arrangement of the text’s events, as well as their peculiar creativity – according to their age – of recreating in the situation of the so-called make-believe.

Atuando como docentes em classes de Jardim B e desenvolvendo juntas os mesmos projetos de leitura, recorríamos a vários livros buscando diversas adaptações dos conhecidos contos de fadas clássicos para apresentálas às crianças
As respostas obtidas eram de certa forma também uma releitura dos contos de fadas, pois as crianças recriavam e analisavam o seu próprio cotidiano, bem como as relações sociais nas quais se inserem, a partir da fantasia e do imaginário

Summary

Introduction

This article’s goal is to explore the story of The Pied Piper of Hamelin. In order to do so, social aspects of childhood in the (probable) time when the story was created are presented, as well as some curiosities about the text. O processo de mitificação mascara as motivações que levaram à adaptação de contos de fadas em diferentes contextos ao longo dos anos.
