Certainly! Here is a review of "Sheerwood Forest" by Human:
"Sheerwood Forest" by Human is an enchanting literary work that breathes new life into the classic tales of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men. Set in the legendary Sherwood Forest, Human weaves a narrative that is as rich in detail as it is in adventure, capturing the timeless struggle between the oppressed and the oppressors.
The author's prose is both vivid and evocative, painting a lush picture of the forest that serves as a backdrop for the unfolding drama. Human's depiction of the forest is almost a character in its own right, with its dense foliage, hidden pathways, and ancient trees providing a sense of mystery and wonder.
Character development is a standout feature in this work. Robin Hood is portrayed with a complexity that goes beyond the traditional hero. He is a man of principle, driven by a sense of justice, but also plagued by doubts and vulnerabilities. Maid Marian, Little John, and the rest of the band are given similar depth, making their camaraderie and individual stories compelling.
The plot is expertly paced, blending action, suspense, and moments of quiet reflection. The tension between the outlaws and the Sheriff of Nottingham is palpable, keeping readers on the edge of their seats. Human also incorporates contemporary themes of inequality and social justice, making the story resonate with modern audiences.
Overall, "Sheerwood Forest" is a masterful retelling that honors the spirit of the original legends while offering fresh perspectives. It is a must-read for fans of historical fiction and adventure, proving that some stories, no matter how old, can still be thrilling and...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI'm from Nottingham and seen the changes over the years. Sherwood Forest the most famous on the planet, is no longer a forest. It is now a tacky tourist money maker, with little regard for the environment and there is hardly anything left of it nowadays. Parking is a rip off and everything else. The Major Oak was probably a sapling in Robin's day, if he ever existed that is. Other countries with real forest like Finland and Sweden, must be laughing their socks off. You may want to visit the most famous forest in the World, but it saddens me to see what has become of it in the name of 'progess'. Doubtful I'll visit it again and to the overseas tourists that have flown miles just to see it, don't say I didn't warn you. Trust a Nottingham man when I tell you, you've probably got better forest at home. There are still some nice large fragments of Sherwood Forest left, but I'm talking about the tarmaced area around the Major Oak. Best to include this place as part of an itinerary so you can see other...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThis is actually one of the best forests I've been to. It's truly beautiful. There's a large car park - postcode NG21 9QB Payment is by cash or card. You can use the " pay by phone " app, but there's zero phone signal, so unless paid for beforehand it won't work. Come out of the car park and cross the road. Nearby there's a little courtyard with a cluster of shops and a cafe. Further forward you'll find the visitors centre. ( great place to start from ) Here there's a shop, another cafe and some toilets. Dogs welcome. There are boards up outside showing you coloured walks, so you can choose how far you wish to walk, and how long it takes. Most people choose the shorter walks, so if you want peace and quiet, go for the longer one. A lovely place to visit, very well kept. Dogs advised to go on leads, unless far from other people. Litter bins about. Events board shows what's happening. Paths are relatively easy, although muddy. Walking boots, or shoes, even wellies advised. Do NOT touch the red...
