Surviving in Sherwood Forest on only his wits and prayers, the cosseted monk nurtures a new faith in his heart. CASTLE LOXLEY, MIDSUMMER'S DAY, 1200: Veteran of the Lionheart's last Crusade, Earl Robert of Loxley is arrested by the Sherriff of Nottingham for refusing to pay King John's new taxes. Robert escapes into nearby Sherwood on horseback, stripped of his title and lands. The lost Earl meets the wandering monk by a stream deep in the greenwood, and a legend is born. "Outstanding." "Compelling." "Very picturesque, very playful." "A completely new dimension to the legend." "A rollicking good tale. Conjures visual treats." "Gritty, moral and great entertainment." www.friartuckbook.com
