4.0 out of 5 stars compelling, intellectual re-telling of a classic legend, 13 Dec 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Lady of the Forest (Paperback)
unlike so many of the vacuous re-hashings of the classic Robin Hood legend, "Lady" delves deeply into medieval society, its customs and mores to extract believeable, three-dimensional characters who are as familiar as they are refreshing. Impossible to put down, the romance, laughter, and unexpected agonies of the soul contained within make for one of the most fantastic historical fantasy works around. Stay tuned for the sequel!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well-written, though i think Roberson should write a sequel., 25 Jan 1998
By A Customer
This book was well-written and captivating; you had to read it to the end. i think, though, that her ending was a bit inconclusive and almost screams for a sequel. the reader is left to wonder what became of each of the characters they grew to love (or hate) while reading the book. Roberson's book gives Robin Hood fans a new concept to think about: Maid Marian. Marian was previously not a central figure and i think it is good that she has finally been given due credit. . .and Robin Hood needs a lover. it adds to the romantic side of the old ballads.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new, more mesmerizing, tale of Robin Hood and Maid Marion!, 1 Feb 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Lady of the Forest (Paperback)
So many authors portray the tale of Robin Hood as flat and one dimensional; the conflict is simple: good versus evil. Yet, the conflict in this tale is anything but simple, difficult choices are made - should Richard, a captive, be foresaken for John, a contender for the throne? Robertson shows the characters as human - they make choices and mistakes, just as we all do. For instance, the Lionheart is often portrayed as infallible, while the opposite is true. Robertson also gives a great deal of time to explaining the conflicts of others as well - especially Lady Marion. Marion is developped as a strong female character, yet she still correctly represents the females of her day. This book is the ultimate tale of Robin Hood - it truly brings the one dimensional mish-mash of tales handed down over the centuries to life!
