Venice로 도망중인 고아, Prosper 와 Bo는 거리의 떠돌이들 단체를 향해 가는 중입니다. 모든 집없는 아이들의 무리를 이끌고
있는 자칭"Thief Lord"라 불리는 소년은 재치가 있고 매력이 넘치지만, 무엇인가 어두운 과거가 있는 소년입니다.
Propsper 와 Bo는 이새로운 가족들과의 생활을 너무나 즐기고 있지만 그들의 뒤를 바짝 쫒고 있는 비열한 고모와 멍청한 형사때문에
그들의 자유로운 생활이 점점 위협을 받게 되는데요...과연 그들 앞에 어떤 모험이 기다리고 있을까요?
Two orphaned brothers, Prosper and Bo, have run away to Venice, where
crumbling canals and misty alleyways shelter a secret community of street
urchins. Leader of this motley crew of lost children is a clever, charming boy
with a dark history of his own: He calls himself the Thief Lord.
Propser
and Bo relish their new "family" and life of petty crime. But their cruel aunt
and a bumbling detective are on their trail. And posing an even greater threat
to the boys' freedom is something from a forgotten past: a beautiful magical
treasure with the power to spin time itself.
THE THIEF LORD was the
first of internationally acclaimed author CORNELIA FUNKE's novels to be
translated from her native German into English, and was awarded the prestigious
Batchelder award when it was originally published in hardcover in
2003.
