I don't know what tale this is based on; however, I would like to find out. I would also like to read more of this story as I am intrigued by the teaser, and want to know what happened to the little girl who grew up to be a clever thief. The story invites the reader to become a part of the scenery; asks you to be observant and patient. How did she get caught? What mistake did she make or was it just that someone was more clever? I hope to win a copy of this book for I won't be able to sleep until I get to the very end of the book!
