 Interesting Questions, Facts, and Information
 Funke, Cornelia
Bo. He was a cute boy with blond hair like an angel and always got photographed by tourists. He escaped with his brother Prosper because their aunt wanted to adopt Bo but not Prosper and decided to put Prosper in a boarding school.
Scip. Only Bo can call the thief lord Scip without getting an icy stare in response.
a broken wing. Scipio was surprised the Counte wanted him to steal such a cheap thing but actually, the wing is magical.
Hornet. She has many books on her mattress and she reads out loud to the other members of the gang.
an abandoned theater. Scipio told Bo that the theatre is called the Star-Palace. This is Scipio's father's property, and he stole it from his father.
Change your age. The merry-go-round contains a lion, unicorn, mermaid, merman and sea horse. Scipio used it to make him grow older and many people mistook him for his father.
Barbarossa. He always sell the items in a much higher price than that he paid for it. Riccio and Prosper sell their loot here because Barbarossa doesn't ask many questions about the items. Also, he has a red beard, which earns him the nickname Redbeard.
Esther. She was a sour-faced woman and had a pointy nose. She captured Bo but he behaved so badly that when he escaped, Esther didn't care.
The Thief Lord. Barbarossa bullied the others and made them work for him and even encouraged them to steal. Really, Barbarossa is mean in all forms, whether young or old!
In Victor's detective agency. He named himself Scipio Fortunato and Victor added his name on the nameplate. Also, Riccio and Mosca lived in an abandoned warehouse, Mosco working for a fisherman and Riccio probably stealing. Hornet, Prosper and Bo lived happily at Ida's house. This is a very nice ending, isn't it?
Hartlieb. The Hartliebs wanted to adopt Prosper and Bo after their mother had died because they had no children of their own. But they actually only wanted Bo and tried to separate them. Prosper got upset and ran away to Venice with Bo.
The Stella. The Stella, which Scipio calls Star-Palace, belonged to a rich man called Dottor Massimo. "Dottor" in Italian means doctor by the way. Anyway, he owned another theatre called the Stella too. He built them for sheer enjoyment, but he closed down the Star-Palace later on.
Victor Getz. He had two tortoises for his pets. He found the duty of a detective tiresome. The other three people don't exist in the story. I just mixed some names and surnames of the characters in the story.
100 thousand lire. Barbarossa was a sly man. He never gave up his money without a fight. He offered 100 thousand lire for the loot, but Prosper refused, but Barbarossa really liked the sugar tongs, so the deal at last was 400 thousand lire.
The son of Dottor Massimo. The first one to find out the true identity of Scipio was Victor Getz. Victor was investigating on the case of Prosper and Bo, and he thought they were hiding in an old theatre, so he pretended to be a reporter to ask Dottor Massimo about it. It was then he saw Scipio in his true identity.
Ida Spavento. They were caught in Ida's house, but she was kind and told them the story of the wing which belonged to a magical merry-go-round, but on one condition. That condition was to let Ida go with the children to give the wing to the Conte next night.
Isola Segreta. Isola Segreta was called 'The Secret Isle". There were some spooky stories about it, and nobody ever dared to go there.
Renzo and Morosina. They were looking for the wing because it was needed to make the magical merry-go-round to work.
It changes your age. According to Renzo, each animal worked differently. The lion made you younger, and the water creatures made you older.
