Synopsis
A engrossing and gripping three-in-one retelling of the Robin Hood story. In The Forestwife trilogy, we are putting together the three retellings of the Robin Hood story by Theresa Tomlinson - these were published separately as The Forestwife, Child of the May and The Path of the She Wolf and sold well both in this country and in the US. Theresa always wanted to identify with Marian but the gentle ladylike image found in most books did not satisfy her. She felt Marian should have a toughness about her, be ready to go along with the men who were outlawed and live rough with them - and that was how The Forestwife was born. She is strong in a very female way and she is a healer and a midwife and a very good food provider, She does not enjoy fighting but will fight if she has to to defend the poor and needy against the injustices of the medieval kings, Richard and John. She uses plots from various legends and sources but the book which is action packed and fast moving, is at the same time sensitive and moving. It can be enjoyed by all ages.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: An excellent read!, 7 Sep 2003 By A Customer This is a really good book, definitely buy it! A perfect re-telling of the Robin Hood legend, this story concentrates on the women behind the stories, not the men. You really get to know the characters, really begin to feel for them, ther are so many characters, yet all of them appeal to you. Throughout the books, you recognise many of the familiar characters, which have been given a new identity for these books. For example, you recognise John as being Little John, Brother James as Friar Tuck, and many other characters from the legends. Definitely buy this book now!  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   3 of 3 people found the following review helpful: An excellent read, 26 Jul 2004 By  Allen W. Wright - See all my reviews There have been quite a few books in recent years focusing on Maid Marian. Theresa Tomlinson's portrayal is easily the best of them. She finds a new dynamic role for Marian that makes her more than a self-doubting romance novel heroine or simply a generic Merry Man. Her Marian is an interesting parallel to Robin Hood. Marian and her friends (and family) make excellent role models for girls... and boys. And don't let the young adult status prevent grown-ups from reading this book. It's better written than most "adult" Robin Hood books.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
