Klappentext

Reproduction of the original, first published in 1896. An English translation of the French short story "Maître Cornélius", written in the early 19th-century. Set Tours, it follows Georges d'Estouteville, apprentice to Cornelius Hoogworst, a wealthy but feared silversmith whose home has been repeatedly robbed. When another theft occurs during Georges's secret nighttime absence, he faces execution like previous apprentices, until the King investigates the puzzling crimes and uncovers a startling truth about the miserly merchant's household.
