Cabbages & Kings by Morgan Sheppard
A Robin Hood Origin Story

A HERO. HONOURABLE THIEF. LOVABLE ROGUE. SCOUNDREL. BLACKGUARD.

Everyone’s heard of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men, with big, bad Sheriff of Nottingham and evil Prince John trying their best to thwart Robin at every turn. But what if things were different to what you’ve been told? What if Robin wasn’t as altruistic as history portrayed?

In the late spring of 1198, the hamlet of Girton is razed to the ground. Newly married eighteen-year-old Will Scathlock and sixteen-year-old Alana move to the larger village of Blidworth to start their lives anew. In his new job as a forester for the Royal Palace of Clipstone, known to the locals as King’s Houses, Will hears tales of a good thief, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. But in her role as Seamstress for the Manor House, Alana hears a different story.

Find out what it was like for the peasant folk Robin was supposed to be helping, before his well-known adventures in Nottingham. Meet Alana Dale and read her story of what it was really like, and how it all began.

It’s Hard to Imagine a More Romantic Story
Orphan Anne Shirley is thrilled when she is sent to live with the Cuthbert siblings, Matthew and Marilla. The problem is, they were looking for an orphan boy, someone who could help Matthew around the farm. Still, they begin to fall for Anne and agree to let her stay. This book follows her adventures of the next five years as she grows to become a sixteen-year-old. What will happen over that time?

I’ve never read this well-loved classic, and I decided it was time to fix that. It came out in 1908, so some of the language is dated, although there is nothing offensive here. I think I needed to be a pre-teen girl to fully enjoy this book. There were certainly parts I did enjoy, but overall, I found the book more episodic than a real novel. That tends to happen to me when a novel covers such a span of time. Also, the events in the second half of the book got to be too much for me. Having said that, I can see the appeal. The characters definitely grew on me, and I laughed at various events along the way. I’m curious enough about what happens next that I might go on with the series.

Independent Reviewer for Archaeolibrarian - I Dig Good Books!


Selene is a swan herder. She has grown and played with the princes of the kingdom. Unfortunately, since the queen has died, the princes have done nothing but bully and make Selene's life a misery. She won't do anything to report them and just carries on dealing with it the best way she can. Praying to the goddess to come and make her feel protected at least in a little way.


This is a beautifully written story I loved it from start to finish. I love Morgan's writing style anyways, this is her tenth book and I inhale each book as quickly as I can then get depressed waiting for the next one to come out. Her imagination brings anything to life and the detail put into each description makes it almost as if you can see it in front of you.


I adore both Selene and Con (as well as the majority of the other characters) and the way their story grows If it were possible I would like to read more to do with them and any more adventures they may go on. It seems like their story isn't quite finished maybe? Just my opinion, of course, maybe I'm just hoping too much.

@Night Reader Reviews - it was my fault! Time has definitely run away with me on this one. Oh, well. If ever you have the time and fancy giving any of mine a chance, please just let me know! Have a great week. 😁

Lessons and Adventures... what an interesting perspective!
ROMAN'S GIFT is told completely from Roman's perspective. It's been a long time since I've read an M/F book from the male's point of view. And let me tell you - it worked! I want my own Roman, pretty please!!!

This is a smoothly-paced, hot-to-trot story that not only shows you the spark between the main characters but shows you a snippet into their work lives too. Now, as this was told by Roman, some of the things on Juliette's side don't have the same impact. I'll be honest, she would have had to work a whole lot harder to get back in my good books, but I guess I'm just mean that way. As for Roman's PTSD, it was hard reading, I'll not deny that, but it was written so well! Roman has his found family and I'll admit to a tear in my eye when he realised it.

All in all, this was a great read that I thoroughly enjoyed and have no hesitation in recommending. Get your copy!

THE FOES BETWEEN US is the first book in The Last Wizard series, and we start off with a funeral. Brynn is distraught at the loss of her cousin. His death though, leads her to new adventures.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story although there were parts that I'm not sure of the relevance. I'm hoping it will become clear as the story progresses in future books.

Brynn was a brilliant character who feels stifled by the conditions placed upon young women by Queen Victoria. I have no idea if these were real but there was still an enormous amount of detail given. Zadicayn, although billed as the main male, is still something of an enigma. We didn't actually meet him until about half to two-thirds through the book. This means I don't know him as much as I would like to.

This was a great story that kept my attention from start to finish. It has left me with questions I can't wait to see answered. I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more in this series.
