Trama libro
Listen. My one-time friend Maria did tell me once: "Make your ownparadise, Tibb, since this world is no sweet place for people like us."Borna vagabond, Tibb Ingleby has never had a roof of her own. But her mother hastaught her that if you're not too bound by the Big Man's rules, there are manyways a woman can find shelter in this world. Now her ma is dead in a trickgone wrong and young Tibb is orphaned and alone.Asshe wends her way across the fields and forests of medieval England, Tibb willdiscover there are people who will care for her, as well as those who mean herharm. And there are a great many others who are prepared to believe just aboutanything.Andso, when the opportunity presents itself to escape the shackles society hasplaced on them, Tibb and her new friends conjure an audacious plan: hergreatest trickerie yet. But before they know it, their hoax takes on a life ofits own, drawing crowds - and vengeful enemies - to their door. . .ALittle Trickerie is blazingly original, disarmingly funny and deeply moving. Portraying a side of Tudor England rarely seen, it's a tale of belief andsuperstition, kinship and courage, with a ragtag cast of characters and anunforgettable and distinctly unangelic heroine.
