Historic Smyrna

Son of Sherwood


Book Description

It was a time of uncertainty and darkness. Feudal England was caught between bloody crusades, and corrupt nobility. No one could predict that an outlaw would be the one to bring a spark of hope to the people of a small region in England. He wished neither fame nor wealth like some outlaws, but his deeds of courage and chivalry would become known throughout the world, as would his name. Nobility called him a wolf's-head. Serfs called him a hero. Historians called him a myth. Legend would know him as Robin Hood.
