Book Talk and Signing
5:00pm – 6:00pm
In The Traitor of Sherwood Forest, medieval scholar Amy S. Kaufman reimagines the oldest version of Robin Hood, the chaotic trickster found in the original ballads. Told through the eyes of one of Robin’s spies, a peasant girl named Jane, Kaufman’s novel explores voices rarely centered in historical fiction and weaves conversations about class, gender, the romanticization of war, and the dangerous allure of extremism into a deeply atmospheric, racing story.
