Description "Thieves' Carnival" is described by the author as a "comedie ballet," and by the "Spectator" as "an early confection of cobwebbery & sugar-candy, pink & white & blue, which seems the embodiment of a comic spirit whose smile has more mischief than irony in it ... a frothy, flimsy enchantment ... a happy, absurd story of French thieves and English aristocrats.
