An inspired woodcarver, Abbas is apprenticed to a master toy maker in order to build a massive tiger automaton, a gift to celebrate the return of the Sultan's sons from British captivity. Working alongside the legendary French clockmaker Monsieur du Leze, Abbas hones his craft and learns to read French and then meets Jehane, the daughter of one of du Leze's fellow expatriats. When du Leze is finally permitted to return home to Paris, he begs Abbas to accompany him. But by the time Abbas travels to Europe, the palace has been looted by British forces, and the tiger automaton disappears. To prove himself and make a livelihood in Paris-with the lovely Jehane at his side-Abbas must retrieve the tiger from an estate in the English countryside, where it is displayed in a collection of plundered Moorish and Oriental Art"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Fiction James Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Fiction James Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Fiction James Checked In   Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Fiction James Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Fiction James Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult New Books James Checked out 06/23/2024 Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Fiction James Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Waianae Public Library Adult Fiction James Checked out 06/21/2024 Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Fiction James Checked out 06/06/2024 Add Copy to MyList More Results: Prev 1 2
