Book summary

In the 1260s, England is torn apart between King Henry III and the barons led by Simon de Montfort. Hugh de Monthermer, a young knight, loves Lucy de Ashby, the daughter of a house once hostile to his own. Meanwhile, in Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood and his outlaws take the side of the barons.

From village fairs to the Battle of Evesham, this novel of adventure and love brings a medieval civil war back to life, with the most famous of all outlaws at the heart of the action.

Full of twists, it is a pleasure to read in the language you are learning.
