DESCRIPTION
Stolen from Gypsies, Noble Smith's outrageously hilarious first novel, involves a stolen Gypsy baby, a tongue-tied accountant, a rich merchant, the merchant's ravishing daughter, magicians, spells, contracts in blood, pirates, transformations, Dim Avengers, döppelgangers, demons, duels, dicksocks, angels, carnal temptations, imprisonment and redemption.
If this sounds like Shakespeare meets Monty Python, you are not too far off.
A comedic adventure set in the early nineteenth century, this historical comedy that is as absurd and enjoyable as Monty Python's The Holy Grail and Goldman's The Princess Bride.
The characters leap off the page in full costume.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Noble Smith




ENDORSEMENTS
Noble Smith's wit and inventiveness, and the astonishing range of his learning, recreates the picaresque novel almost single-handedly, then promptly stands it on its head, all the while reminding us of what real storytelling always was, and still can be. The book is a pure delight, and I can't wait to see what Mr. Smith does next.
~ Peter S. Beagle, author of The Last Unicorn and Tamsin

REVIEWS

So witty and plain funny that I found myself laughing out loud.
~ Alfred Uhry, author of Driving Miss Daisy

"From the fertile imagination of Noble Smith. . .a novel full of color. . .that begs to be read aloud for maximum comic effect.
~ The Oregonian

(Stolen From Gypsies) does its author proud and performs its duty nobly. 
~ Seattle Weekly


...funny and charming...While Gypsies has echoes of Shakespeare (and) Cyrano...(it) lies in some mad classification all its own.
~ The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

A wonderful book, full of wit, mirth and wild imagination...pen and ink illustrations...add a classic touch.
~ The Californian

Noble Smith's skill as a literate writer and engaging storyteller is simply first rate...Enthusiastically recommended reading.
~ Midwest Book Review
