THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'Crisp transportive uplifting. The fresh irreverent
voice of Tibb Ingleby is sheer brilliance. I loved it!' BONNIE GARMUS author of LESSONS IN
CHEMISTRY Listen. My one-time friend Maria did tell me once: "Make your own paradise Tibb
since this world is no sweet place for people like us." 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. 'Rosanna Pike is a bright and bold new voice
in historical fiction and has created a heart-catching character in bad girl trickster Tibb'
ANNIE GARTHWAITE author of CECILY 'Striking darkly funny and heartfelt Tibb's tale of

of GLORIOUS EXPLOITS ' A Little Trickerie has a big heart a subversive wit and the most
lovable protagonist I've come across in years ... A thrilling joyous intoxicating debut'
