The Friar's Tale

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The King is off on Crusade.

The country is being bled dry.

Between high taxes and the Forest Laws, a strained people teeter on the edge of revolt. Outlaws walk the woods. And a wandering friar, trying only to contemplate God... or more accurately, to find the best beer... becomes caught up in all of it, whether he will or no. And what he finds at its heart is the voice of a goddess, the call of the greenwood, and a man who might well become a legend.

The tale of Robin Hood is one we all know. Or do we? The author, a Nottingham native, takes the familiar and weaves ideas of her own into a story that mingles history and folklore, and focuses on one of the more fascinating characters from the story, a man that is often seen as the caricature of the jolly friar.

This is the tale of Robin Hood, but more than that, it is the tale of England... and the tale of Friar Tuck.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
