***LONGLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION*** ***SHORTLISTED FOR THE WINSTON GRAHAM
HISTORICAL FICTION PRIZE*** THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER: TUDOR ENGLAND AS YOU'VE NEVER
SEEN IT BEFORE WITH A HEROINE YOU'LL NEVER FORGET 'Crisp transportive uplifting. The fresh
irreverent voice of Tibb Ingleby is sheer brilliance. I loved it!' BONNIE GARMUS author of
LESSONS IN CHEMISTRY --- Born a vagabond Tibb Ingleby has never had a roof of her own. But
her mother has taught her that if you're not too bound by the Big Man's rules there are many
ways a woman can find shelter in this world. Now her ma is dead in a trick gone wrong and young
Tibb is orphaned and alone. As she wends her way across the fields and forests of medieval
England Tibb will discover there are people who will care for her as well as those who mean
her harm. And there are a great many others who are prepared to believe just about anything.
And so when the opportunity presents itself to escape the shackles society has placed on them
Tibb and her new friends conjure an audacious plan: her greatest trickerie yet. But before they
know it their hoax takes on a life of its own drawing crowds - and vengeful enemies - to
their door... A Little Trickerie is blazingly original disarmingly funny and deeply moving.
Portraying a side of Tudor England rarely seen it's a tale of belief and superstition kinship
and courage with a ragtag cast of characters and an unforgettable and distinctly unangelic
heroine. --- WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT A LITTLE TRICKERIE 'I love historical fiction
