An earlier call-out to England of old---'Sherwood in the twilight, is Robin Hood awake?...'

[Poem by Alfred Noyes]

It feels so spirited, authentic, and well done. I love the characters and stories. And, Maid Marian is the equal of any man in Sherwood Forest as a horsewoman and strategist.

The Sheriff of Nottingham is one of the most iconic villains ever.
