What is Sherwood about?
Sherwood is the story of Edward Aelredson, lord of Denby, in Sherwood Forest. He was sixteen when the Duke of Normandy conquered his country and became William I of England. Edward's mother nicknamed him Edward Puck-Robin, but legend remembers him as Robin Hood.<br> <br> The stirring tale of England's artful outlaw who challenged the throne itself is known to everyone, as are Marian, the Lady he loved, Will Scatloch, Little John, and the other men who gathered around him. But where might their legend have come from? Who might the historical "Robin" have been all those years ago in the now-famous Sherwood Forest?<br> <br> Parke Godwin's Robin Hood is subtly different from the known version of the tale. His setting is shortly after the conquest of Anglo-Saxon England by William of Normandy in 1066. Young Robin is a lesser Saxon landowner who must bow to a brutal king or lose everything his family and people have fought to hold.<br> <br> <i>Sherwood</i> is realistic, historical fiction of the highest order. It is a compelling, richly detailed narrative that evokes and illuminates a lost time. <p>From the author of the highly original Firelord and Beloved Exile
