I read it way back when it was called "Gideon the Cut-Purse"--because I guess I'm the sort of person who sees a book in the library and thinks, "hmm, cut-purse! Must be interesting." :DSarah Stevensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16534942492714970282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1265120169320473011.post-59512990008061460502010-06-08T20:23:03.493-05:002010-06-08T20:23:03.493-05:00I really liked this one when I read it, although I...I really liked this one when I read it, although I haven't read the sequels. It's interesting that they re-named the book when the second one came out. Did you know it was originally called "Gideon the Cut-Purse"? I don't think that title worked well for the publisher because no one knew what a cut-purse was! I thought the author did a really good job of showing how different living in the 18th century was from today.fourth Musketeerhttp://fourthmusketeer.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
