I read Roberson's Lady of the Forest a good 15 years ago, and really enjoyed it.

Very enjoyable & great escapism! 5 stars. Of course, I have disliked them from my first exposure to Marian & Robin when I was a child, and I have continued to want to nail both of them with arrows (if only I was better with a bow & arrow) whether I am reading about them or watching a movie or series. Thus, this author did a great job describing these characters and giving them abominable traits so readers would not like them. I disliked both of them throughout the book. Is this because of Marian or the fact that Robin (Robert) is a third son? Then there is the High Sheriff of Nottingham - a thoroughly despicable character and his seneshal, Guy of Gisbourne, an idiotic fool. In addition she states quite firmly Robin’s lack of closeness with his father, The Earl of Huntington. This author brings into play King Richard The Lionheart’s relationship with Robin as well as Robin and Marian’s. Though primarily a novelist, Roberson has also published approximately 30 short stories in various anthologies and magazines.How I love reading about Marian & Robin! Jennifer Roberson’s Lady of Sherwood is a delight! I truly enjoy reading various authors’ takes on this legendary twosome and their fellow ‘outlaws’. Earlier credits include a western, a historical romance, a romantic suspense, and a novel set in television's Highlander universe of the 1990s. The third is a Scottish historical, titled Lady of the Glen, based on the documented story of the Massacre of Glencoe, which occured in the Highlands in the 17th century when the Campbells attempted to wipe out the MacDonalds. Her novels and anthologies have been translated and published in Germany, France, Japan, China, Sweden, Poland, Hungary, Russia, Italy, Israel, and the UK.įollowing the maxim 'write what you love,' Jennifer Roberson has published three mainstream historical novels, including Lady of the Forest and its sequel, Lady of Sherwood, reinterpreting the Robin Hood legend with emphasis on Marian's role. Roberson has also edited several fantasy anthologies. In 1996 she collaborated with fantasy authors Melanie Rawn and Kate Elliott on The Golden Key, a massive undertaking that was a finalist for the World Fantasy Award in 1997. Roberson has also published the 6-volume Sword-Dancer saga, and eight novels in the Chonicles of the Cheysuli three new Cheysuli novels are planned.

Two additional volumes are under contract. April 2006 saw the debut of KARAVANS, the first novel in a new series, followed by the release of DEEPWOOD in July 2007. Since 1984, Jennifer Roberson has published 24 solo novels, with her primary genre, fantasy, divided among three different universes.
