A review from the Yorkshire
========================
'The racy writing style is worth a place on some antique coffee table if not in the monastery library.'
Hollywood has not prepared you for the real Robyn Hood, nor for the seismic shocks that shook England during his lifetime.
The more you become engrossed in his story, the more you learn about his determination, about his sense of what it truly means to be a free spirit
. His battle with corrupt authority in the shape of the sheriff of Nottingham is an inspiration for all of us.
You are about to be transported back to a time when the heart and soul of the country was being fought over - in a battle to the death.

I quite liked the concept of this book, having Robin Hood and several of his companions telling their stories in first person in the form of journal entries, as well as the fact that Ryan steps away from the best known classical tale of Robin Hood by setting it in the reigns of Edward II and Edward III rather than that of Richard I. Despite that, it just couldn't keep me hooked... my attention was wandering to the point where I missed entirely when Maid Marian apparently disappeared from the narrative and only noticed her absence when Robin acquired a new romantic interest with the former never heard of again.
