Sherwood: A Novel of Robin Hood And His Times - Softcover

SHERWOOD is the story of Edward Aelredson, lord of Denby, in Sherwood Forest. He was sixteen when the Duke of Normandy conquered his country. Edward's mother nicknamed Edward Puck-Robin. Legend remembers him as Robin Hood. The stirring tale of England's artful outlaw who troubled and challenged the throne itself is known to everyone, as are Marian, the girl he loved, Will Scatloch, Little John, and the other men who gathered to him. But where might their legend have arisen? Who might the historical "Robin" have been all those years ago in Sherwood Forest? Parke Godwin's Robin Hood is subtly different from the received version of his tale, and Sherwood is realistic historical fiction of the highest order, a compelling, richly detailed narrative that evokes and illuminates a lost time.

Parke Godwin is the author of many works of historical and speculative fiction, and lives near Sacramento, Ca.
