Book description
When he's caught stealing, young Alan Dale is forced to leave his
family and go to live with a notorious band of outlaws in Sherwood
Forest. Their leader is the infamous Robin Hood. A tough, bloodthirsty
warrior, Robin is more feared than any man in the county. And he becomes
a mentor for Alan; with his fellow outlaws, Robin teaches Alan how to
fight - and how to win. But Robin is a ruthless man - and although he is
Alan's protector, if Alan displeases him, he could also just as easily
become his murderer.... From bloody battles to riotous feast days to
marauding packs of wolves, Outlaw is a gripping, action-packed
historical thriller that delves deep into the fascinating legend of
Robin Hood. Angus Donald was born in China in 1965 and educated at
