Marian is simply the best ever. <br /><br />I saw the first couple of episodes of the BBC Robin Hood and that was it. I've heard good things about the sheriff.

I love that scene.<br /><br />Emily, I hear ya. She's just one of those authors that had a hand in shaping who I am and why I read. OUTLAWS really is different from her other stuff. Historical, non-magical or fairy taleish. And I know several people who weren't wowed by it. But her trademark understated writing and self-deprecating heroes are there and so wonderful. Hope it works better for you now.<br /><br />Ooh, I hope you're enjoying THE LAURENTINE SPY. I certainly did. So much longing and PERIL! :)Angiegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00353676756221692186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18507492.post-77108123035768995462009-08-28T22:53:18.099-04:002009-08-28T22:53:18.099-04:00I read Robin McKinley's books when I was very ...I read Robin McKinley's books when I was very young, probably 9 or 10, and all of them had a big, big, big impact on them. But for some odd reason this one, the Outlaws of Sherwood, I could never finish!
