Robin Hood: Book One

'Full of action and historical detail. A legend, re-invented and re-invigorated. Highly recommended.' Richard Foreman

1224.

The north of England has become lawless.

Rapacious and corrupt sheriffs are a force of oppression, rather than justice.

Robert Hode, a yeoman farmer, is forced to flee into the forests of Yorkshire. His only crime is to defend his home and family against Sir Gui de Gisburne, a brutal and charismatic Yorkshire knight and the sheriff's chief enforcer.

Hunted like an animal, Robert falls into the company of Hobbe of Wetherby, the most wanted man in Yorkshire - and the most dangerous.

When the sheriff orders Gisburne to kill the outlaws, Robert flees south into Barnsdale. There, he gathers a band of loyal followers around him and makes a new home in the greenwood. The fightback has begun.

Robert must become a force for justice and hope. England needs a champion.

Robin Hood will be born - and unleash his first arrow.

The first book in an enjoyable and engaging series.

Recommended for fans of Angus Donald, Bernard Cornwell and Michael Jecks.

David Pilling is the author of fictional and non-fictional works, including Leader of Battles, Longsword, The White Hawk, Rebellion Against Henry III: The Disinherited Montfortians 1265-74, and many more.

'A swift medieval adventure that will transport the reader to fastnesses of the great royal forests as if the king's men are giving chase.' J.A. Ironside

'Pilling has created a wonderful reimagining of Robin Hood's legend.' Jemahl Evans
