My antidote to A Feast for Crows

[klwilliams]

After spending several days reading about misogynistic sadists who liked to cut off people's body parts, I wanted something completely different. I found it, in Secret of the Three Treasures, an absolutely wonderful and charming middle reader book by janni. The main character is Tierney West, an adventurer-in-training, who has found a potential adventure and is seeking treasure in Connecticut, despite such inconveniences as ballet class. I adored this book, quite possibly because I too was the kind of child who looked at everything as a potential adventure, though mine were less Indiana Jones and more Robin Hood. My only complaint was that it was too short. When is the next one coming out?

Oooooooh, a Robin Hood lover?

Then you must get to netflix and request the first season of Robin of Sherwood, the BBC series from 1984.

Far different from the Bruce Willis inspired current Robin. I hate stuff like that.

But this now, is very different. And it is aimed at that same age-group, I think.

I've only seen the first 4 episodes. The first 2 were kinda not that great, but the photography of that most green and splendid land of England seduces one. The next two improved immensely, and the photography of ENGLAND remains marvelous.

The opening shot of the first ep -- on the river. It is breathtaking.

You even see fish running ahead of the barges.

England after years of drought and hot summers -- will she ever be that again?

Love, C.

Great idea. I'll do it. Thanks.

Pretty soon I'm going to become immerse in all things Robin Hood, as I have a Robin Hood novel I want to write.
