Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
An imaginative and engaging story retelling the Robin Hood legend from a female perspective. Like her previous novel, The Forestwife, Child of the May focuses on the outlaws living in Barnsdale, a secret clearing in the forest. Marian is the Forestwife, wielder of magical healing powers and guardian of Magda, a young girl whose mother was killed by the King's evil henchman, FitzRanulf.
Now 15 and longing for action and adventure, Magda can't wait to join her father, John and the Hooded One in their struggle. She finally gets her chance and finds herself in the heart of the enemy's camp during the Sheriff of Nottingham's banquet. Soon she is taking up arms to help three women imprisoned by FitzRanulf. Fast on her feet and an accomplished archer, Magda is as brave as any man or boy.
Child of the May is a compelling read for any young teenager, adding its own exciting chapter to the enduring romance of the Robin Hood myth. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
No one is ever going to crush fiery Magda's independent streak. And the older she gets the more she realizes that she'll never find what she's looking for in Barnsdale Wood. She's yearning for the thrills of adventuring, and when her chance comes she's going to take it - nothing will bar her way.
