Robin Hood Classic Fiction Library Maid Marian

Peacock's retelling of the legend of Robin Hood is as fresh today as it was when he penned it, nearly two hundred years ago. Here are all the heroes and villains we know and love, recast by a keen Victorian wit: Robin Hood and Maid Marian; Friar Tuck, Little John, and Richard the Lionhearted; Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. The heroes are heroic (and just a little self-serving, though generous) the villains are villainous (and greedy!); and the tale is told as keenly as it can be. Those who haven't read Peacock are in for a treat.(Jacketless library hardcover)Peacock, Thomas Love is the author of 'Robin Hood Classic Fiction Library Maid Marian', published 2005 under ISBN 9780415220040 and ISBN 0415220041.
