There is no Frigate like a Book To take us Lands away, Nor any Coursers like a Page Of prancing Poetry – This Traverse may the poorest take Without oppress of Toll – How frugal is the Chariot That bears a Human soul.

96. Scarlet
By Stephen Lawhead
Rated 4 1/2 Stars
This is the second book in the King Raven series, told in the first person it's a completely re-imagined tale of the man known as Robin Hood, but told in a totally different way from the story that many of us know. I am enjoying this series very much and I think I probably liked this book even better than I did Hood.
As the story of King raven continues, the stakes are getting higher and the lives of Bran's band become more precarious with every passing day. Will Scarlet is about to be hung after being caught in a failed attempt to kidnap sheriff Richard de Glanville Meanwhile Bran discovers a secret that leads them on a sea voyage to France in a daring attempt to reveal a plot against King William by his brother, Robert. Will his efforts increase the sheriff's determination to destroy King Raven.
