![]() ![]() ![]() I've been on a Robin Hood kick lately, so I thought I would use that momentum to give Lawhead another try. But I always wondered if I was a bit hasty in that judgment. I noticed a woodenness to Lawhead's style years ago and was turned off enough to not pursue any more of his books. I read 87 pages of Hood before the writing got me. He is a commercially successful author whose works are enjoyed by readers with tastes similar to mine. I'm fairly certain he professes to be a Christian. He writes fantasy and historical fiction, two of my favorite genres. I don't know what it is, but I have never been able to enjoy Stephen Lawhead's books. Includes Author’s Note: “Robin Hood in Wales?”.Lawhead conjures up an ancient past and holds a mirror to contemporary realities. Steeped in Celtic mythology and the political intrigue of medieval Britain, Stephen R. 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. ![]() 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. Now the familiar tale takes on new life, fresh meaning, and an unexpected setting. Prepare yourself for an epic tale that dares to shatter everything you thought you knew about Robin Hood.įor centuries, the legend of Robin Hood and his band of thieves has captivated the imagination. ![]()
