WOLF’S HEAD: a gritty, fast-paced retelling of a world-famous legend.

Robin Hood is one of the most iconic characters in the history of mankind, and I believe his enduring popularity is due to his nature as a “statement character”, as I like to call him. He stands for something that people can easily identify with. Numerous movies have portrayed him in different ways: the flamboyant Errol Flynn, the anachronistic-sounding Kevin Costner, the atypical Russell Crowe. 2 things have pretty much remained the same about Robin Hood in regard to his legacy as a character in popular culture. He’ s an outlaw fighting against corruption, robbing the rich, and he’s typically associated with King Richard the Lionhearted.

I had the honour of receiving a copy of a novel that places Robin Hood in a different historical period, but maintains his nature as an outlaw. I’m talking about WOLF’S HEAD, by Steven A. McKay.

This book is absolutely awesome. It starts right…
