A morbid book apparently based on an old British folk story about a homeless bagpiper who finds a dead man in the woods and decides to take his boots. Since they won't come off easily he breaks them off, frozen feet and all, and takes the severed limbs with him. When a farmer refuses to let him stay in his house and sends him to the barn, the piper decides to play a joke on him, thaw the feet out and give them to the cow to munch on. The farmer flees in horror. This is a downright creepy and horrible book that is not appropriate for children ages 5-8 at all. I'll be throwing my copy in the trash rather than posting it for an innocent parent or child to pick up.
