Maid Marian eBook

Thomas Love Peacock — by day an official of the East India Company, by night the sharpest satirist of his circle — retells the Robin Hood legend as high comedy. Marian, an heiress who outshoots most of the outlaws, strides out of her own wedding into Sherwood Forest, while friar, baron, and sheriff dispute the matter in perfect Regency prose. His lightest and most charming novel, its songs genuinely worth singing, this edition presents the complete and unabridged text, newly typeset and illustrated with 30 full-page color plates.
