Description

A Little Trickerie is a captivating tale of belief and superstition, kinship and courage, set against the backdrop of medieval England. Born a vagabond, Tibb Ingleby has never known a roof of her own, but her mother's words of wisdom have taught her that there are many ways a woman can find shelter in this world.

When Tibb's mother dies in a trick gone wrong, she is left alone and adrift. But as she navigates the dangers and uncertainties of the world, she discovers a community of people who will care for her and those who will seek to harm her. With the help of her new friends, Tibb concocts an audacious plan to escape the constraints of society, but their hoax takes on a life of its own, drawing crowds and vengeful enemies to their doorstep.

This blazingly original and disarmingly funny novel portrays a side of Tudor England rarely seen, with a ragtag cast of characters and an unforgettable heroine at its heart. A Little Trickerie is a deeply moving and uplifting tale of one young woman's journey to find her place in the world.
