Introduction
Cooper….. A name that, when uttered, would strike fear and paranoia into the hearts of the most ruthless and methodical criminals. Throughout history the Coopers, a family of master raccoon thieves, have accomplished some of the greatest heists in history. As a common rule the Coopers only steal from master criminals or other thieves. After all, there's no honor, no challenge, no pleasure in stealing from ordinary people. The coopers built their world renowned reputation by robbing banks, stealing from kings, pilfering pharaohs, and purloining pirates, not sticking up gas stations. Ancient Egypt, Arabia, the Old West, Medieval England, and Feudal Japan, all have bared witness to the thieving mastery of the Cooper family.
Each Cooper had his or her own unique forte and claim to fame within their lifetimes, and since the beginning of written history they have recorded their feats and techniques in one special book, The Thievious Raccoonus. A book passed down from one generation of Cooper to the next, a coming of age of sorts for this family of thieves. That is where our tale begins, the tragic story of Sly Cooper and the Thievious Raccoonus.
Please feel free to review, they're wanted and welcomed.
