This sequel to The Forestwife is a coming-of-age story about motherless Magda, who was brought to the Forestwife's clearing as a baby. At fifteen, Magda longs to seek adventure. Her wish is fulfilled when a crisis draws the band of outlaws to Nottingham Castle and her father takes her along. Although a fine tale in its own right, the novel will be best appreciated by those who know the first book.
