I think I smiled through most of this story and laughed out loud more than a few times!Gaspar's world is very different than ours, being controlled by various guilds, and they seem to inevitably step on each others toes.  Gaspar is a thief, swearing no allegiance to any guild, but he gets embroiled with many competing guilds who are trying to gain the upper hand in the latest trend in women's fashion. This becomes a very heated battle as some important aristocrats employ some unscrupulous tricks to gain the upper hand.  Our hero, Gaspar, is stuck in the middle with some confusing and hilarious consequences.The extensive use of archaic language, which some may have found confusing, I thought added to the mood of this old world story of intrigue and general frivolity.I would highly recommend this 90 page novella to lovers of high fantasy within an intact funny bone!
