Most entertaining read. Great for children old enough to understand the pain of prison. The novel opens with the hero imprisoned. Yes, he is a thief, a most talented one blessed with these skills by the gods. When he is released he has to help a man find a treasure. Only this man knows where it is and the group must travel through enemy country to find it and return to their own. The thief is a talented liar who brags that he can steal anything. One who speaks before he thinks he finds himself in trouble again and again but somehow manages to get out of it. The reader can't help but like this engaging character as he goes about his trade and tricks others as he does. As one nears the end, one realizes that he is more than he seems to be.
