The Ghosts of Sherwood

“Robin of Locksley and his one true love, Marian, are married. It has been closing in on two decades since they beat the Sheriff of Nottingham with the help of a diverse band of talented friends. King John is now on the throne and Robin has sworn fealty in order to further protect not just his family, but those of the lords and barons who look up to him – and, by extension, the villagers they protect. There is a truce, an uneasy one, but a truce nonetheless. But when the Locksley children are stolen away by persons unknown, Robin and Marian are going to need the help of everyone they’ve ever known, perhaps even the ghosts that are said to reside deep within Sherwood.

The Ghosts of Sherwood is a wonderful novella – from the wonderful setting, wonderful plot, to the descriptions of nature surrounding the Locksley manor and fast (yet enjoyable) pacing of the story, there is a lot that drew me into the story; though one of the things that I couldn’t help but love the most about The Ghosts of Sherwood is that it reads like a fairytale. Though, as much as I loved this novella, at times, I couldn’t help but feel as if the story was going by a bit too fast for my liking, most likely due in part to how short the story was.”
