I invite you to go on a series of magical explorations where lessons are learned, pathways are forged, and obstacles are overcome. While the characters include gnomes, dragons, and even a fairy princess, this is built on a true story that highlights the importance of being kind to yourself, aligning your inner resources, and designing your own unique life tapestry-allowing the world to see the truth of who you are. As we each take responsibility for our pathways in life and the possibilities we create, how do we solve the various life puzzles presented to us? Consider:How do you feel you fit in and belong with your family? Are you looking for your "tribe," or have you already found that connection?Are you surrounded by naysayers or cheerleaders?Do you see obstacles or opportunities?Do you honor yourself or allow yourself to be bullied or bully yourself? Do you allow the truth of who you are to shine through?

Meanwhile, the former friends she left behind in the village are cowering together, hiding from the ghostly birds they believe she''s sent to torment them for abandoning her. But that''s only the beginning of their problems, as Odette soon discovers their worst nightmare is about to come true-the witchfinders are returning. And this time, the decree is clear: to burn the witch that got away.With the men drawing nearer to the village, Odette must face the whispers from the dead and confront her fear of her own growing power if she wants any chance of stopping the army of witchfinders determined to rid the countryside of magic once and for all.

You are invited underneath the great greenwood tree to hear how a young man became a hero, and a hero became a legend. When Robin takes a shortcut through Sherwood Forest, the path he chooses leads not to Nottingham''s archery contest, but to a life on the run from the law. Unable now to become a knight, and joined by his childhood friend Marian, Robin Hood leads the most infamous outlaw band ever to evade the king and his sheriff. Blending true history with new stories, popular inaccuracies, and some almost forgotten medieval legends, The Scarlet Forest: A Tale of Robin Hood brings a new life to the greenwood, which here feels as fresh as it does traditional. Drawing on an academic background in medieval English studies at the University of Nottingham, A. E. Chandler captivates with this unique and nuanced reinterpretation of Robin Hood''s struggles and adventures. The forest is waiting. This expanded second edition contains bonus material, including a translation of one of the only five surviving medieval Robin Hood "ballads," two medieval recipes, book club questions, and a historical note.
