"John Little knew poaching deer would be a risk, but under heel of their Norman lords, the Saxon peasants are starving. When the Sheriff of Nottingham's men destroy John's village for his crime, he flees into the tangle of Sherwood Forest with the only other survivor, a young girl named Marian. But dangers lurk there, too: the outlaw Robin Hood soon takes them prisoner. Robin is all dazzling bravado, dashing looks, and clever tricks--but John discovers that his fight against oppression means a rough and dangerous life, constantly hunted. As the newly dubbed Little John gets an education in how to fit into Robin's band, Marian, too, grows into a force to be reckoned with. Thrust into a world of fearless bandits, uncertain allies, and merciless vendettas, Little John and Marian earn their place--and build an unshakable friendship with Robin Hood"--Dust jacket.
