the tinkers trade is a tale of the adventures, love and strength of rolf the tinker. the tinkers were masters of metallurgy and all things mechanical, from repairing a broken ax or a pot to a gun or clock. this fast paced novel tells of tinker and his companion sonja, a blaze faced mule, as they plodded the appalachian trails and byways buying, selling and administering as needed. he was sometimes a doctor, a keeper of the peace, sometimes even a matchmaker. very importantly he was a bearer of news between these far flung homesteads and settlements. occasionally he was accosted by bandits and brigands who he was obliged to teach “the error of their ways”.
