Reseña del libro "The Goldsmith and the Master Thief (en Inglés)"

'Wonderful... such a joy' Wall Street Journal

'Like a fairy tale up dream of but have never found' New Statesman

Laurenzo and Jiacomo are identical twins, as alike as two drops of water. No one can tell them apart, and no one can split them up. But when tragedy strikes, they must make their own way in the world.

Each brother chooses his own path - hardworking Laurenzo learns to make priceless golden treasures, and fearless Jiacomo decides to travel and becomes an unlikely thief. So begins an incredible adventure that will test them to their limits. The twins will face terrible danger, be imprisoned in a castle, sail across the ocean, fall in and out of love, and even becomes kings by mistake.

They must use all their talent and wit to survive. Are you ready to join them?

Part of the new Pushkin Children's Classics series of thrilling, magical and inspiring stories from around the world, which young readers will return to time and again.
