About This Book
Leon Garfield has made a particular name for himself as a writer of stories for children set in the eighteenth century. Each story tells of a child apprenticed for seven years in a certain trade. His books have received multiple awards, and been translated into many languages as well as televised.
The "Apprentices" series contains twelve books, the last three of which are contained in this volume:
Book #10- *Tom Titmarsh's Devil*
The story of Tom, apprenticed to the bookseller, and Miss Sparrow, the printer’s devil who leads him into temptation with a book of dangerous wisdom.
Book #11- *The Filthy Beast*
The story of Shag, the housepainter’s apprentice, and his tightrope-walking contest with Piper, the young dandy apprenticed in the silk trade, at Bartholomew’s fair.
Book #12- *The Enemy*
The story of Hobby, apprenticed to the figurine-maker, and his enemy Larkins – rivals in love for the piemaker’s daughter – amidst the chaos of the apprentices' Michaelmas feast.
For readers aged 11-14.
