Robert Browning wrote "The Pied Piper of Hamelin" in 1842. It is a famous poem based on the legend of the Pied Piper who lured away the rats from a town and then the children when the townspeople refused to pay him for his services.
The town related to the Pied Piper legend is Hamelin in Germany. According to the story, the Pied Piper was hired by the town to rid them of rats, but when the town refused to pay him, he led away their children by playing his magical pipe.
Ballads are considered to be narrative poetry so I guess the answer to your question is...yes!
Not necessarily. It depends on the subject of the poem. 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' is fiction, but 'The Charge of the Light Brigade' is non-fiction.
Willy is a young boy in the story 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin' who is lost with the other children when they follow the Pied Piper out of town. He is one of the children who disappear and never return.

The term "pied" in the name "pied piper" refers to the character's multicolored clothing, specifically a coat made of different colored patches or "pied" fabric. This term dates back to the 16th century, derived from the Middle French word "pie," meaning magpie, known for its black and white plumage. The pied piper's distinctive attire is a key element of the character's visual representation in various artistic interpretations of the famous folktale.
