4-6Ranger's Apprentice series.
Nine novellas fill in gaps and extend the series arc for Ranger Will and his mentor Halt, including Horace's and Will's marriages, Ranger Gilan's courtship, and the history of Halt's joining the Ranger Corps. Despite the sometimes sentimental material, Flanagan manages to work considerable intrigue and Ranger cleverness--as well as bandits, wreckers, and (unfortunately stereotyped) gypsy-like Roamers--into the mix.
