To which you might be saying to yourself, "Robin Hood, eh? I feel like I know this story."


So, this whole book began because of the adage, "Write what you love."

And my mind was blown. I suddenly had to know if he wasn't alive during King John's reign, when was he alive? And this began a journey to untangle the history of a man whose stories were not written down for almost two hundred years after he died. I went back to the original ballads that survived and tried to piece them together with the historical information I found to create a cohesive story about what we do know about his life. All the while, I was focused on the question: What kind of life causes people to remember a peasant eight hundred years after their death?
