"McKinley brings to the Robin Hood legend a robustly romantic view. . . . A solid piece of tale-weaving, ingenious and ingenuous, causing readers to suspend belief willingly for a rousing good time."-Publishers Weekly

"Readers ready to think beyond stereotypes of glorious violence will find [this] Robin a hero for our times."-Booklist

"In the tradition of T.H. White's reincarnation of King Arthur, a novel that brings Robin Hood . . . delightfully to life!"-Kirkus Reviews
