When you’re in love with a man of legend, how can anyone else match up? Dr Grace Harper has loved the stories of Robin Hood ever since she first saw them on TV as a teenager. Now, with her fortieth birthday just around the corner, she starts writing a medieval mystery which entwines the story of Folvilles with her long-time love of Robin Hood—and a feisty young woman named Mathilda of Twyford. But is her devotion to a man who may or may not have lived hundreds of years ago really a substitute for a real-life hero of her own?

Usually to be found within range of plate of hot buttered toast, a huge mug of black coffee, and a with a bar of emergency chocolate tucked in her jacket pocket, Jenny Kane spends her days in her local cafe typing away... Inspired by everything and anything, Jenny combines her past experiences as an archaeologist, university tutor, cheese seller, newsagent, hat maker, Robin Hood obsessive, and data clerk, with the sights and sounds of everyday life, to weave tales of relaxingly relatable romance. In February 2018 Jenny's popular timeslip novel, Romancing Robin Hood, was re-released by Littwitz Press. In March 2018 the purely historical sequel 'The Winter Outlaw' (written as Jennifer Ash) will also be released. Jenny also writes historical mysteries under the name of Jennifer Ash Find out more at http: //jennykane.co.uk and http: //www.littwitzpress.com/index.html
A delightful medieval mystery threaded with historical facts and cleverly woven inside a contemporary romance - like the plush lining of a warm coat. Jenny Kane has a way of writing characters that quickly seem like old friends in your mind. A great read. (Amazon UK, 5 stars)
OK, I admit it - I'm a history buff, so when I found out the author was a historian, I just had to read this book. What I loved was discovering two stories in one, and how the author wove both together. (...) It's a medieval whodunnit, and I was partial to the historical part of the book. Ms. Kane knows her history, and she makes the most of the people and their lives during that century. (Amazon US, 5 stars)
Humour, suspense and lively, likable characters bring history to life and echo the present day people. This is obviously well-researched but doesn't 'teach', facts being well-integrated into the backcloth and lives of the characters. A great read. (Amazon UK, 5 stars)

Now, with her fortieth birthday just around the corner, she's a successful academic in Medieval History-but Grace is stuck in a rut. Grace is supposed to be writing a textbook on a real-life medieval criminal gang-the Folvilles-but instead she is captivated by a novel she's secretly writing. A medieval mystery which entwines the story of Folvilles with her long-time love of Robin Hood-and a feisty young woman named Mathilda of Twyford.Just as she is trying to work out how Mathilda can survive being kidnapped by the Folvilles, Grace's best friend Daisy announces she is getting married. After a whirlwind romance with a man she loves as much as the creatures in her animal shelter, Daisy has press-ganged Grace into being her bridesmaid.Witnessing Daisy's new-found happiness, Grace starts to re-evaluate her own life. Is her devotion to a man who may or may not have lived hundreds of years ago really a substitute for a real-life hero of her own Grace's life doesn't get any easier when she meets Dr Robert Franks-a rival academic who she is determined to dislike but finds herself being increasingly drawn to? If only he didn't know quite so much about Robin Hood.Suddenly, spending more time living in the past than the present doesn't seem such a good idea. Seller Inventory # 9781999855246
