Take a Thief

Corners bumped, a little edge wear and rubbing. Light tanning but text is clean and unmarked. An attractive copy. ; Valdemar; 5" - 6" Tall; 435 pages; "Skif was an orphan. For as lomg as he could remember he had worked as a drudge in his Uncle Londer's dreary inn in the slums of Haven. Sleeping on a pile of rags under the stairs, wakened before dawn to do the lowliest and filthiest of tasks, Skif would have died from malnutrition and exposure if he had never met Deke. Deke was a pickpocket. The oldest member of a group of young boys who, with the guidance of their teacher and leader, a crippled man named Bazie, survived by their wits and their nimble fingers. By the time Skif was twelve, he was an accomplished cat burglar and one of the leaders of Basie's gang.
"But it wasn't until Skif decided to steal a finely tacked-out white horse, which was, oddly enough, standing unattended in the street, that this young thief discovered that the tables could be turned on him."
