(1) YA Tales of the Kingdom series. The daughter of a well-to-do innkeeper, Gwyn hears legends of Jackaroo, a Robin Hood–style outlaw. She discovers a Jackaroo disguise in a deserted cabin and assumes the legendary hero's persona. Voigt describes social and political structures without interrupting the narrative flow; this is a fully realized country--it seems as if it had once existed only to be rediscovered by a master storyteller.
