Reviews

'Astonishingly good (5 out of 5).' -- The Sun In recreating the Robin Hood story, Tim Hall has produced an original, savage, powerful and incredibly moving story. He captures the harshness and darkness of the ancient woodland so vividly, it is like the author himself has slid back in time. Robin and Marion are like you have never seen, and I am sure this novel will grip anyone who reads it, as it thoroughly gripped me. -- Jilly Cooper 'My favourite YA book of 2014 (so far and I can't imagine anyone topping it). I thought this was going to be a YA fantasy book but I'm not sure what it is, which is why I love it. Beautiful writing, a stunning mix of action and mystical folklore. A brilliant story.' -- Sally Green
