The Thief (1996) 304pp “I can steal anything”, says Gen, the eponymous thief of Megan Whalen Turner’s excellent children’s adventure. He captured my imagination, against my inclination. The title threatened an adorably disreputable ne’er-do-well character from the fantasy stockroom. Tricksters (see ...
