  <default-description>&lt;p&gt;Robin Hood&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Legend Begins Anew&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For centuries, the legend of Robin Hood and his band of thieves has captivated the imagination. Now the familiar tale takes on new life, fresh meaning, and an unexpected setting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hunted like an animal by Norman invaders, Bran ap Brychan, heir to the throne Elfael, has abandoned his father's kingdom and fled to the greenwood. There, in the primeval forest of the Welsh borders, danger surrounds him-for this woodland is a living, breathing entity with mysterious powers and secrets, and Bran must find a way to make it his own if he is to survive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Like the forest itself, &lt;i&gt;Hood&lt;/i&gt; is deep, dark, and at times savagely brutal-yet full of enchantment and hope.  Internationally-acclaimed author Stephen R. Lawhead has created a lyrical rendering of a time-honored story that will lead you down strange pathways into another time and place.&lt;/p&gt;</default-description>

    <body><![CDATA[A fascinating take on the Robin Hood legend.  Stephen Lawhead has taken the story and set it in 1093 Wales.  Bran ap Brychan is heir to the throne of Elfael.  After his father's death and after his kingdom is overtaken by Norman invaders and the people enslaved, Bran flees and is presumed dead.

    <body><![CDATA[Hood is a well written book that puts a very interesting spin on the Robin Hood tale.  Instead of being set in Sherwood Forest during the time of King Richard, Lawhead moves the legend to the primeval Welsh forests of the March following the generation of William the Conqueror (1066 AD).  At first t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40856667">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[<strong>Rating</strong> A<br/><br/><strong>Review</strong> I had heard a lot about this book recently, it was popping up on blogs left and right, and a co-worker leant me the first book (thereby reducing any excuses I had to not reading it), so I read it. And it was good. This isn't normally the type of book I'd read--I've only re...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/57766602">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book promised much... but delivered little. I love the legend of Robin Hood, so really, how could I not enjoy any book based on the thieving outlaw and his merry men? Well, for a start, Robin (or Bran, as he's known in this version) is kind of the main character, but not really, with lots of ch...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/53891651">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It took me awhile to warm up to this book. I picked it up because I thought &quot;Oh, a Robin Hood retelling - I like those&quot; and that was absolutely NOT what this book felt like. Though it did have an outlaw in the woods robbing from the rich to feed to the poor, that was where the similarity e...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/54190674">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book wasn't quite what I was expecting. I love Robin Hood stories, so I was excited about reading one with a different spin, one set in Wales and with completely unique characters. While it was a bit intriguing, I also found the whole story a bit slow moving. I was rather shocked at one point t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/52803993">more...</a>]]></body>
