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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a India $x History $y 18th century $v Fiction. 651 0 $a France $x History $y 1789-1900 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Wood-carving $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Toymakers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Art thefts $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Imperialism $v Fiction. 651 7 $a France. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204289 651 7 $a India. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210276 650 7 $a Wood carving $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Robots $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Art thefts $v Fiction. $2 sears 650 7 $a Imperialism $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a India $x History $v Fiction. $2 sears 651 7 $a France $x History $v Fiction. $2 sears 648 7 $a 1700-1900 $2 fast 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Fiction. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Novels. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01921742 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a James, Tania. $t Loot. $d New York : Alfred A.
