About This Book

Prolific Australian author Doug Moody takes us on an adventure like no other in his latest thrilling novel, Robert Hod and his band of Married Men. We travel back in time and examine the very essence of British folklore which has become ingrained in the psyche of the masses throughout the generations. This is historical fiction at its very best but with an added modern twist to keep you on the edge of your seat! This hilarious story deconstructs the myth surrounding the exploits of Robin Hood and his men who inhabited Sherwood Forest. Did they really rob from the rich and give to the poor? Was King Richard the Lionheart really the great hero that we are led to believe he was? Did the tales related by the travelling minstrels contain a single element of truth? We meet the dim witted Robert Hod and a rag tag band of thieves called the Married Men who have deserted their families and taken up refuge in Sherwood Forest. Who really split the Sheriff of Nottingham’s mighty shaft in half? Will a horrendous concoction conjured up by the mysterious Mushroom Lady send the Hod, Prince John and others mad? Or will they come out of the spiritual journey with enlightened souls? Will the plague wipe out the population of Nottingham? All will be revealed in this magical story with many twists and turns along the way. You will find yourself laughing like a drain and will be forced to re-evaluate your perception of the past.
