From Publishers Weekly
Sherwood Forest no longer rings with the daring exploits of Edward "Robin Hood" Denby; now middle-aged, Robin lives contentedly with his beloved Marian and their two children. He's even become friends with the Sheriff of Nottingham, who has married his cousin. In this sequel to Sherwood , Robin gets into trouble again when he argues in court against a plan to convert part of Sherwood into a royal hunting preserve for William I, who rules England from Normandy. Banished for his insolence, Robin becomes a body servant to the king and his second son, the brave, licentious Rossel. He changes the course of English history by convincing William to alter the line of succession, a development that Godwin's spellbinding storytelling makes totally believable. Not just a first-rate adventure, this is also a fascinating account of everyday life in the 11th century, whose customs, beliefs, superstitions and fears are vividly evoked. Witchcraft, intrigue and betrayal lead to a shocking denouement. Deft characterizations, superb battle scenes and more than a little wit make this a worthy addition to Robin Hood lore.

Eight years after his pardon from the king for his deeds in Sherwood Forest, Edward Denby--otherwise known as Robin Hood--once again finds himself on the wrong side of the law as his conscience drives him to oppose royal tyranny. Godwin relocates his hero to an earlier age, during the reign of William the Conqueror, but the heart of the legend remains unsullied. The author of Beloved Exile ( LJ 4/15/84) once again proves that he is adept at re-creating enduring legends in this stand-alone sequel to Sherwood ( LJ 7/91). Most libraries will want this title.
