I Am a Leaf Driven by the Wind...

Tried to resist this. Tried to resist this for about two seconds and failed. Wanted it. Had to have it. Ordered it. Deed done. But it does look like an excellent book and a fascinating read for any Robin of Sherwood fan. If I haven't messed up the link, you should be able to click on the image above to find information on Hooded Man Volume 1: Robin of Loxley. The publisher's page includes a PDF preview (that pretty much sold me on the book when I first came across it on wolfshead) and a video interview with the author, Andrew Orton, though the sound quality isn't great.

I've been wanting to rewatch the series, so I think I'll do that while reading this book -- and Volume 2. Based on the PDF preview, Hooded Man Volume 1: Robin of Loxley should contain lots of fun facts and information that I haven't seen or heard before.

The author of Hooded Man was at the Con, happily selling his wares. He must have made a killing over the weekend!

So I'm here to tell you that it is indeed a fascinating read (at least - up to p.131, which is where I'm at - it's also a LARGE tome); with lots of detail about behind-the-scenes stuff; as well as digressions into things like - why the name 'Jennet' was an appropriate one for The Witch of Elsden.

I shall definitely be sending off for Part 2 in November.

I hope your copy arrives quickly and that you have a great time reading it.

I'm sure the con must have been a perfect place to promote and sell the book! And I can easily imagine Orton making a killing over the weekend! *g*

Oh, awesome! That's just what I wanted to hear! I mean, it looks like a fabulous book, but it means a lot more to hear it from such a passionate fan who already possesses so much knowledge of the show! I'm really looking forward to reading it! :-D

Good to know! I'm positive that I'll be doing the same!

I'm often pleasantly surprised by how quickly orders arrive from the UK. I'm sure it won't be long before it's in my grubby little hands! And I'm sure I'll love it! :-D
