Kate Greenaway fu una celebrata illustratrice e autrice di libri per bambini britannica, il cui lavoro catturò l'idilliaca innocenza dell'infanzia. I suoi delicati acquerelli ritraevano bambini in scene senza tempo, incontaminati dai rapidi cambiamenti della Rivoluzione Industriale. Attraverso i suoi semplici versi e le sue affascinanti illustrazioni, Greenaway divenne una figura di spicco nell'illustrazione di libri per bambini, rivaleggiando con gli artisti più popolari della sua epoca. La sua duratura eredità è riconosciuta dal prestigioso Kate Greenaway Medal, assegnato annualmente per risultati eccezionali nell'illustrazione di libri per bambini.
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.
