There Peter’s innate skills as a thief show themselves when he looses the knots and swims to safety.Įven better, this line comes at the end of it: “Until this point, you have been witness to Peter’s rather typical infancy-probably not unlike your own.” He takes up with a family of cats under the porch of an alehouse until the whole lot are found by the tavern owner, scooped into a bag and tossed in the river. Peter Nimble is an orphan, blinded by a raven, found as a baby floating in the river by sailors, who turn him over to the town magistrates, who name him and leave him to fend for himself. From the first page, Peter Nimble rollicks forward through adventure with barely a missed beat along the way. Jonathan Auxier is a friend of a friend who lent me her signed copy of Peter Nimble and His Fantastic Eyes for a read. “Adventure ho!” reads the author’s inscription on the first page.
