(4) 4-6 This retelling of "The Brave Little Tailor" adds another deception to those that characterized the original: protagonist Saville is a girl who disguises herself as a boy so she can take over father's tailoring business after he falls ill. Political intrigue and a larger-than-necessary cast of characters overcomplicate the story, but Saville's motivations make her a likable heroine.
