Kate Greenaway war eine gefeierte britische Illustratorin und Kinderbuchautorin, deren Werk die idyllische Unschuld der Kindheit einfing. Ihre zarten Aquarelle stellten Kinder in zeitlosen Szenen dar, unberührt von den rasanten Veränderungen der Industriellen Revolution. Mit ihren einfachen Versen und bezaubernden Illustrationen wurde Greenaway zu einer führenden Figur in der Kinderbuchillustration und konkurrierte mit den populärsten Künstlern ihrer Zeit. Ihr bleibendes Erbe wird durch die renommierte Kate Greenaway Medal gewürdigt, die jährlich für herausragende Leistungen in der Kinderbuchillustration verliehen wird.

Příběh o krysaři, jemuž starosta a radní města upřou odměnu za to, že zbavil město krys, a on se jim za to krutě pomstí, je založen na skutečnosti, ale známým se stal až řadou uměleckých zpracování. Po J. W. Goethovi, bratřích Grimmových atd. a před Waltem Disneyem či Viktorem Dykem nejproslulejší verzi tohoto příběhu vytvořil anglický básník Robert Browning (1812–1889). Kniha s původními ilustracemi Kate Greenawayové (1846–1901) a ve dvojjazyčné úpravě vychází v češtině poprvé.
