Hawksmaid: The Untold Story of Robin Hood and Maid Marian

(4) 4-6 Maid Marian (a.k.a. Matty) is cast as the central figure of this Robin Hood retelling. A brilliant falconer with a magical connection to her birds, Matty needs "adventure as much as a good, warm cloak." Lasky invents new episodes for Matty to star in but keeps familiar characters. Though the storytelling drags at times, readers who identify with the spitfire protagonist will be engrossed. Glos.
