<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"John Little knew poaching deer would be a risk, but under heel of their Norman lords, the Saxon peasants are starving. When the Sheriff of Nottingham's men destroy John's village for his crime, he flees into the tangle of Sherwood Forest with the only other survivor, a young girl named Marian. But dangers lurk there, too: the outlaw Robin Hood soon takes them prisoner. Robin is all dazzling bravado, dashing looks, and clever tricks--but John discovers that his fight against oppression means a rough and dangerous life, constantly hunted. As the newly dubbed Little John gets an education in how to fit into Robin's band, Marian, too, grows into a force to be reckoned with. Thrust into a world of fearless bandits, uncertain allies, and merciless vendettas, Little John and Marian earn their place--and build an unshakable friendship with Robin Hood."--Front jacket flap.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>An action-filled retelling of the story of Robin Hood as seen through the eyes of his trusted strong right hand, Little John.</b> <p/>When peasant John Little witnesses the Sheriff of Nottingham's men destroying his village for John's crime of poaching deer to feed his people, he flees into the tangle of Sherwood Forest with the only other survivor, his young foster daughter Marian. But dangers lurk there, too: the outlaw Robin Hood soon catches them and takes them prisoner. <p/> Robin Hood does not quite match the heroic stories that are already told about him. For all Robin's dazzling bravado and clever tricks, the reality of his fight against oppression by the Norman nobility is a rough and dirty life in the forest, outlawed and constantly hunted. <p/> As the newly dubbed Little John gets an education in how to fit into Robin's dangerous band, Marian, too, grows into a force to be reckoned with. Thrust into life in a world of fearless bandits, uncertain allies, and merciless vendettas, Little John and maid Marian earn their place--and build an unshakable friendship with Robin Hood. <p/> Told with earthy historical detail and unforgettable characters, this is a must for any young reader fascinated by knights and fights, kings and peasants, or who wants to delve into the many tales that built the Robin Hood legend.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>An epic and accessible adaptation-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br>
