Robin Hood: The Legend Begins Anew
For centuries, the legend of Robin Hood and his band of thieves has captivated the imagination. Now the familiar tale takes on new life, fresh meaning, and an unexpected setting.
Hunted like an animal by Norman invaders, Bran ap Brychan, heir to the throne of Elfael, has abandoned his father's kingdom and fled to the greenwood. There, in a primeval forest of the Welsh borders, danger surrounds him--for this woodland is a living, breathing entity with mysterious powers and secrets, and Bran must find a way to make it his own if he is to survive.
Steeped in Celtic mythology and the political intrigue of medieval Britain, Stephen R. Lawhead conjures up an ancient past and holds a mirror to contemporary realities. Prepare yourself for an epic tale that dares to shatter everything you thought you knew about Robin Hood.

" For fans of Robin Hood, without the Disney aspects. This has a more historical fiction feel to it. Trilogy is very enjoyable. "

" I'll post a longer review on my blog, but I liked this book. Other readers complained that it dragged in the middle, but I found the transformation of the hero interesting, very mystical. The one disappointment was Merian. She was boring, boring, boring and a touch self involved. "
