This book falls under the category of a folk tale, capturing a narrative about thievery and cleverness through its protagonist, Tim.

In this tale, Tim, a sharp but simple lad, is apprenticed by his father to a pair of highwaymen. Under their tutelage, he engages in a series of thieving escapades, during which he cleverly outsmarts his mentors while trying to claim a prized cloak and a pig. Tim's intelligence and quick thinking allow him to regain the stolen pig twice, ultimately leading to a resolution where the thieves must pay him for their failed attempts to swindle him.
