Bandette, Volume 1: Presto!

This is fantastic; great genre work, fun characters, good setting, little splashes of French. I love the friendly thief character and Bandette is charming, whimsical, cultured, and fun.

Also enjoyed the urchin stories at the end. I had to pause in reading Daniel's story for this line that I loved: “She frowned, but she did so in a way that she does, where the frown is like a drum roll for a smile.”
Paul Tobin you have my attention. Marvelous.
