STUTELY WAS DREAMING OF beautiful women riding white bears when Robin Hood showed up in Thorney.
This is a nod to the actor who played Will Stutely: Ryan Young (who has a tattoo of a polar bear). The character of Will Stutely was originally nothing more than "Villager #1", but when I cast Ryan Young I instantly wrote some more for the role to match Ryan's bombastic personality. He created this lovable braggart loudmouth out of a role that only had a handful of lines, which I knew had to get a little bit more spotlight in the novel.
