I read this book when I was in sixth grade, and I really enjoyed it. Finally, I found it again as an adult, and I like it just as much as the first time I read it! The story involves Robin Hood, his band of Merry Men, and Maid Marian before they were known by these names. Matty Fitzwalter (later known as Maid Marian) grows up learning falconry from her father and has a special bond with her five hawks. Robert Woodfynn (later known as Robin Hood) is good with a bow and takes care of the people in the village when Prince John tries to steal England from King Richard. The two and their band of friends must help King Richard return home to England. I recommend this book to anyone who likes reading about Robin Hood and Maid Marian's adventures or learning about early falconry as lessons are interwoven with the story. This author wrote the Guardians of Ga'hoole series centered around owls. |
