Request Date: 12/31/2011 6:00 AM ET Date Canceled: 1/2/2012 7:00 AM ET
Why was this request cancelled? I don't remember being offered the book. I could be wrong, of course, but I have $ right now on my credit card to buy credits with. I will check my Gmail to see whether anything slipped by my filters, but barring that, I would like an additional 36 hours to accept this book.
Neither Anne nor Emily remembered choosing the book at the library, but when as they read it, the boundary between their world and the one described in the book disappears. Suddenly they are in Sherwood Forest, where they join Robin Hood's band. The further adventures that await Anne, Emily, and their brother, Will, are the kind they had alwaysdreamed about. They had yearned for magic as strong as the spell cast by the stories they loved best. But then an uninvited guest turns up at their parents' garden party. The sinister man snatches the book with the intention of using its powers for evil, and the siblings find themselves engaged in a battle to regain possession of the book.
Richly detailed black-and-white drawings enliven this intriguing literary fantasy, which pays homage to some of the heroes of the author's childhood, among them E. Nesbit, Edward Eager, and Leo Tolstoy.« less
