What was to become a confidence trick of massive proportions, the swindle of the century, began almost innocently. Thérèse Daurignac used her story-telling skills to amuse the younger children in the family. The next step was to persuade all her school friends to pool their jewellery so that she would look as though she had a lot of jewels if she was always changing them. After that it was tales of an inheritance on the strength of which she got credit.

|comment= Yes! It would be ideal as a stockingfiller or good if you were sending the book by post. In a padded bag the postage is only 62p!(Or it was - in 2006...)
