Download or read book The Adventures of Maid Marian Healer of Sherwood Forest written by Carol J Weakland and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-13 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lady Marian Fitzwater is something of an oddity. Yes, she is beautiful, titled and kind; but her tastes are far different from most young ladies of Nottingham. Often, she is found healing the poor, soiling her fine gowns with blood of the forgotten. Some Nobles hiss that she is a witch who uses fairy magic. This is somewhat true. Marian does work with fairies, but her healing abilities stem from tried and true methods handed down by her mother...or so she believes... After the death of her parents, Marian finds she cannot pay the taxes on the vast Fitzwater estate. Desperate, she is about to accept a marriage proposal from Nottingham's esteemed Sheriff when her childhood sweetheart, the notorious Robin Hood, appears. Suddenly, Marian finds herself fleeing the law. Robin conveys her to his secret hideout, which is lodged inside the depths of a waterfall. Soaking wet, Marian finds herself within a gorge, surrounded by a sea of tents and makeshift huts. Confusion clouds her thoughts. What has brought the once titled Robin of Locksley to a life on the run? Although Robin's explanations of robbing the rich to feed the poor are outlandish, something whispers within Marian's heart they are true. Even when Robin places an emerald ring on her finger, proclaiming his love, she has no idea that it is stolen from Prince John. Marian is drawn into a nightmare from which she cannot awaken. When Robin rides off to save the villagers from the Sheriff's raid, Marian secretly follows and begins healing the wounded. Silently, she watches Robin and his archers send waves of arrows at the Sherriff and his men. Soon a long line of wounded villagers await Marian's attention. Little does she imagine that the Sheriff is watching, an arrow buried in his shoulder. It goes against her better judgement, but Marian pulls the arrow free and dresses the law man's wound. She has all but finished when he arrests her for aiding outlaws. Against all odds Marian finds herself in prison. Late that night Prince John arrives, tears the emerald ring from her finger and places her on trial for witchcraft. It appears that Marian will be burned at the stake come sunrise. Will Robin rescue Marian? Will Marian hail the magical abilities hidden deep inside to save herself? The story that follows is a magical romp through Sherwood Forest told from Marian's point of view. Although Marian appears pure as the driven snow, she is magical to the core. It simply takes Robin, a life on the run and a host of fairies to help her realize this. Marian grows from the traditional damsel in distress to a self-sufficient young lady, who not only heals those in need, but also saves them with delightfully clever schemes. This is also a love story. Robin is spellbound by Marian's beauty, her open heart and her magical healing gifts. Although he is determined to marry her, Marian refuses every ring he offers. They are, after all, stolen! Deep in Robin's ancestral home lies the family ring worn by his mother. Marian is determined to find it, so she dresses in a boy's garb and steals off in search of the relic. On route, she encounters the fairies, who gift her with a new form of energy healing. The events that follow shake her to the core, especially when the Sheriff lures Robin into a trap where he is wounded, captured and condemned for treason. Will Marian finally use her magic to save him?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Newbery Medal–winning author of The Hero and the Crown brings the Robin Hood legend to vivid life. Young Robin Longbow, subapprentice forester in the King’s Forest of Nottingham, must contend with the dislike of the Chief Forester, who bullies Robin in memory of his popular father. But Robin does not want to leave Nottingham or lose the title to his father’s small tenancy, because he is in love with a young lady named Marian—and keeps remembering that his mother too was gentry and married a common forester. Robin has been granted a rare holiday to go to the Nottingham Fair, where he will spend the day with his friends Much and Marian. But he is ambushed by a group of the Chief Forester’s cronies, who challenge him to an archery contest . . . and he accidentally kills one of them in self-defense. He knows his own life is forfeit. But Much and Marian convince him that perhaps his personal catastrophe is also an opportunity: an opportunity for a few stubborn Saxons to gather together in the secret heart of Sherwood Forest and strike back against the arrogance and injustice of the Norman overlords.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An action-filled retelling of the story o. Robin Hood as seen through the eyes of his trusted strong right hand, Little John. When peasant John Little witnesses the Sheriff of Nottingham’s men destroying his village for John’s crime of poaching deer to feed his people, he flees into the tangle of Sherwood Forest with the only other survivor, his young foster daughter Marian. But dangers lurk there, too: the outlaw Robin Hood soon catches them and takes them prisoner. Robin Hood does not quite match the heroic stories that are already told about him.

As the newly dubbed Little John gets an education in how to fit into Robin’s dangerous band, Marian, too, grows into a force to be reckoned with. Thrust into life in a world of fearless bandits, uncertain allies, and merciless vendettas, Little John and maid Marian earn their place—and build an unshakable friendship with Robin Hood. Told with earthy historical detail and unforgettable characters, this is a must for any young reader fascinated by knights and fights, kings and peasants, or who wants to delve into the many tales that built the Robin Hood legend
