This story is different from the usual lord and lady hero and heroine. The story starts out with a young starving boy being caught for stealing an apple. The bow street runner wants to hang him but the Magistrate had other ideas to keep him fed, housed, and out of trouble.
The boy, John Picket runs into temptation not only the stealing kind but the opposite sex kind. It his story and it keeps you intrigued and wondering where it is leading the growing hero.
I enjoyed listening to the Pickpockets’s Apprentice, it kept my attention and the voice by Joel Froomkin was easy on the ears, it transported you back to that time.
It’s short enough to listen in a day and thank goodness it just the beginning of his adventures. I can’t wait to start the next one ….
