In one fell swoop, he had achieved recognition and acclaim that can seem as unreachable as the furthest galaxy to scientists who labor in anonymity in labs around the world. President Obama hailed him for a job well done. Tens of thousands of Twitter followers hung on his every tweet. “The Mohawk guy” was an overnight sensation. Bobak was dressed to kill-his Mohawk hairstyle sported red and blue highlights, offset with white stars bleached into the sides of his head.

It’s something that she’s about to find out as the book begins in just about as exciting a way possible. But unlike Kinghtley’s character Gwyn in that film, Isabelle doesn’t know about her father. There have been other stories about Robin Hood’s offspring, including the 2001 The Wonderful World of Disney made for TV movie Princess of Thieves starring Kiera Knightley. They’re doing everything they can for the survival of their only daughter as the story of Hood starts. Still an outlaw, he and Marian have been separated for nearly twenty years with his beloved bride in hiding at a convent in Kirklees, raising their daughter Isabelle in safety and seclusion. Rather than retelling the all too familiar tale, Hood is more or less a sequel, jumping forward in time after the events of Robin Hood’s defeat of Prince John and the consequences of that act. The latest adaptation takes the character back to the literary world in Hood by Jenny Elder Moke from Disney’s Hyperion book label.
