Description

"Who hasn't known the sickening, demoralizing feeling of being falsely accused? In the Real Thief, William Steig explores this injustice with the keen insight of a good psychologist and the skillful pacing of a brilliant storyteller. Gawain is a goose, a guard for the new Royal Treasury, and intensely loyal to the honey-scented, gruff, fatherly King Basil the bear. Everyone did. The Royal Treasury consists of jewels, medallions, and precious crowns of historical interest--an the one creatures who have keys to the Treasury are Gawain and the King himself. In this simple fable of justice, lyalty, friendship, and betrayal, Steig again manages to portray a reflection of lige so heart-rendly accurate it's uncanny." From Amazon.com
