Castle: Epilogue

The unmentionables have been dealt with. Prince LeRoy and the knights were hard at work clearing the countryside of such despicable beings.

Some of us are in the dining room with tiaras on head to celebrate Queen Maerie's return from her tour of Spain. She arrived via the Santa Rosa last week and has finally settled back at home in Castle Bryggja.

Other guests were taken to the outskirts of Bruges by Robin and his band of men to seek transport back to their homes.

Queen Maerie has unpacked many gifts during the week to giveaway. Please check the sidebar and stake claims to those that interest you for today is the LAST DAY to do so.

Winners will be announced on the morrow.

NOTE: September Zombies invade next month.

Another note: Don't like zombies, no worries. Non-zombie posts will happen in the afternoons.

Robin Hood by David B. Coe

Robin Hood
by David B. Coe

Published: 2010
Genre: Action, Fairy Tales, Fantasy
Paperback: 304 pages
Rating: 4

Description from the amazon:
Oscar® winner Russell Crowe stars as the legendary figure known by generations as Robin Hood, whose exploits have endured through out popular mythology. In 13th century England, Robin and his band of marauders lead an uprising against the crown that will forever alter the balance of world
power.

And whether thief or hero, one man from humble beginnings will become an eternal symbol of freedom for his people. Robin Hood chronicles the life of an expert archer, previously interested only in self-preservation, from his service in King Richard’s army.

Upon Richard’s death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation, where he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion (Oscar® winner Cate Blanchett), a woman skeptical of the identity and motivations of this crusader from the forest.

Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and salvage the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life. Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct injustices under the sheriff.

With their country weakened from decades of war, embattled from the ineffective rule of the new king, and vulnerable to insurgencies from within and threats from afar, Robin and his men heed a call to ever greater adventure.

This unlikeliest of heroes and his allies set off to protect their country from slipping into bloody civil war and return glory to England once more.

My two-bits:
In-a-word(s): archery

Very enjoyable and action-packed novel of the beginnings of Robin Hood.

There's some mystery in they story as it portrays a Robin who does not remember his childhood due to a traumatic event.

And a touch of romance, of course ;-D

I missed the movie version when it was in the theatre, but have it Netflixed.

A horseman scoops you up and plops you atop his horse.

The mysterious stranger's arms encircles you as you both gallop away from the animated zombies.

Robin, I must search for my love, Brunhilde! Wherever can she be???

Aye! Robin replies.

At this point you...

A - shut your eyes, lean back into Robin's warmth and hope you reach safety soon

B - turn back at the zombies, stick out your tongue and blow a raspberry

C - grab a hold of Robin's sword, jump off the horse and prepare to kick some zombie butt
