In Cadnum's vividly wrought twelfth-century England, the greedy plunder the hungry and justice is cruel. But Sherwood Forest harbors what amounts to an alternate society. As in In a Dark Wood, Cadnum offers an authentic, unflinching picture of a time when violence and lawlessness were commonplace; a time when a fair-minded outlaw could become a hero by taking the law into his own hands.
