Funnyman Russell Brand has announced that he's working on a series of illustrated children's books.
The 38-year-old comedian announced his new project 'Russell Brand's Trickster Tales' in a video message and the first story in the series is 'The Pied Piper of Hamelin', reported E! Online.
"I know you've already heard of that. And you might think,
'Well, that isn't your story.' Yeah, I know, I've done a different version of it.
"Once upon a time, long ago, in a time that seemed to those present, exactly like now, except their teeth weren't so clean and more things were wooden, there was a town called Hamelin," he said.
