Monday Book Lines :: The Orphan and the Thief

Every Monday I’m going to be pulling an image that showcases a moment in one of my books, along with an excerpt. None of these images are mine. At times I am unable to find the copyright owner. If you see your work featured and you are not credited, please let me know.

From THE ORPHAN AND THE THIEF:

It wasn’t hard to climb the iron fence that surrounded Mr. Owl’s lush property. Toad scampered up and over it in no time, quickly seeking cover under a cluster of flowering bushes. The house was enormous, the biggest in the city: three stories of heavy brick. There were balconies, with intricate ironwork railings; the grounds were manicured and crisp, sporting gushing fountains and thick hedges. The property was so large that the bustling of buggies and shouting of shop owners was muffled to a murmur.
