McKinley brings to the Robin Hood legend a robustly romantic view. . . . A solid piece of tale-weaving, ingenious and ingenuous, causing readers to suspend belief willingly for a rousing good time. --Publishers Weekly

Readers ready to think beyond stereotypes of glorious violence will find [this] Robin a hero for our times. --Booklist

In the tradition of T.H. White's reincarnation of King Arthur, a novel that brings Robin Hood . . . delightfully to life! --Kirkus Reviews
