Author has written 26 stories for Robin Hood BBC. I've been a fan of the Robin Hood legend as long as I can remember. I'm such a geek, I used to walk across my college campus (Butler University) at night in the snow, with my hood up, imagining I was Robin Hood. (The gothic architecture helped!) A few years ago, (October 2009) I stumbled upon the BBC television series while my late husband and son were watching college football, and I fell in love with the series. The painting you see on this page is called "Maid Marian's Kiss" (1859) and sorry, Gisbourne fans, but that is NOT Guy of Gisbourne she is kissing! All of my stories are connected, and here is their chronological order: How Much Got His Name A Birthday for Robin May Day Twelfth Night You Must Have Had Suitors Much's Silver Lotus Blossom Necklace (should actually be Chapter 35 or so of You Must Have Had Suitors) Robin and the Pirates (should also be a missing section in You Must Have Had Suitors) Aylesbury Ambushed Hidden Treasures Leave It to the Horses I'd Like to Be A Part of Your Gang The One Time Djaq Felt Like Much Allan and the Monk? Into the Fall Battlefields of the Heart The Return of the King (Should be missing chapters near the end of Battlefields of the Heart) Long Live the King/ God Help England The Spy A Birthday For Much Saving Prince Arthur And the Lord Taketh Away Beautiful Nightmares in the Manor Springtime At Locksley The Pox And the Lord Taketh Away--Part II | |||||||
