"...This glorious yarn shows just how much more can be woven around the Sherwood Forest legend. Written in an engaging and appealingly visual way with a sprinkling of historical fact, this tale rattles along through all the familiar locations of Merrie England pitching Robin, Will Scarlett, Alan-a-Dale and a feisty Marion against the uncaring rule of King John and his cruel, merciless
Sherriff of Nottingham. Redistribution of wealth and general mayhem ensue in scenes strong on action and humour, all under the watchful eye and spiritual guidance of Friar Tuck. Ultimately it is the Friar whose wise counsel will save the day when all is seemingly going to be lost in a final confrontation. Believe me, that final drama is written in such a gripping way that it will leave you with a lasting image and make you wish that you could have been there and witnessed the bravery of Hood, his merry men and
in this telling, Friar Tuck himself ! A very good read." From UndertheTree on Amazon.co.uk

"A rollicking good tale, laced with fruity words and expressions of the time. Conjures visual treats. You can almost smell the leaf mould... ."

"Assuming I knew the familiar story of Robin Hood, I waded into Friar Tuck by Cameron Taylor, not expecting the journey I'd soon be swept into ... Storytelling is an art, and Mr. Taylor has woven his tale with authentic colorful language that allows the reader to wistfully explore Sherwood Forest with his vivid characters. I so enjoyed the magnificent literary intoxication
of this book, and I believe you will too." H.P., USA.

"I like your story, the style fits the old tradition. It reminds me of Howard Pyle or Arthur Conan Doyle. It reads like a movie, very graphic, very picturesque, very playful."

"I thoroughly enjoyed Friar Tuck. It is very funny and thought provoking and I loved the descriptiveness...the more I read, the more it added to the story and the humour. I like the way you make this a Christian story...getting the thoughts and message across in a way which would be entertaining to anyone." D.D., Wiltshire. UK.

"I was drawn very quickly into this story, where a lovable friar has you laughing, cheering and occasionally wiping a tear. It’s a page turner, witty, adventurous, and has an array of wonderfully colourful characters. A fabulous read."

"I particularly enjoyed the attention to detail and characterisation. The touches of humour, wisdom and intelligence are nicely balanced too. The prose is reminiscent of the early Robin Hood poems, but in a much more accessible and approachable form."

my own spirituality." T.D., Bristol. U.K.

"I liked it a lot...you have a good way of telling a story, good descriptions and excellent action scenes. I really felt drawn into the story and the locations. The characters...were convincingly drawn...especially the baddies' frustration at being unable to deal with the problem!"
