      The King is off on Crusade. The country is being bled dry. Between high taxes and the Forest Laws, a strained people teeter on the edge of revolt. Outlaws walk the woods. And a wandering friar, trying only to contemplate God... or more accurately, to find the best beer... becomes caught up in all of it, whether he will or no. And what he finds at its heart is the voice of a goddess, the call of the greenwood, and a man who might well become a legend. The tale of Robin Hood is one we all know. Or do we? The author, a Nottingham native, takes the familiar and weaves ideas of her own into a story that mingles history and folklore, and focuses on one of the more fascinating characters from the story, a man that is often seen as the caricature of the jolly friar. This is the tale of Robin Hood, but more than that, it is the tale of England... and the tale of Friar Tuck.
