One uses the term 'romping good yarn' advisedly but in fact this tale is exactly that. Aspiring author and failed A-lister Camilla, desperate for funds and affection, joins forces with a publishing team that beggars description.The similarities between the legend of Robin Hood and this story are subtle, the links never overdone or cliched.The narrative leaps from one twist to the next turn with pace and energy. The characters are delightfully off-centre and the hero? Well, he is definitely of a kind to swing down from the trees armed with bow and nocked arrow.This is the first of Anne R Allen's books I have read and I will be certainly seeking others.
