"The Other Robin Hood" exposes the life of a misunderstood and unfortunate man whose true exploits have, until now, been lost through time. Widely known in his day as a notorious highwayman, George Davenport was much more than just a brigand and a robber.
This book unveils the story of a kind and compassionate man who desired nothing more than to live in peace and reverence. But circumstances forced George to suffer the life of a criminal ? almost to the point where death became a desirable escape from his dishonest ways.
It is not just the account of a notorious highwayman of 18 years, but of a courageous and benevolent man who deeply loved his wife and cared for others ? to the point of being considered "The Other Robin Hood".



Autorentext

After over forty years working as an accountant, I took up the pen in 2010. I had spotted an interesting character in the history of one of the towns I had worked in, and upon researching him, found him to be fascinating. So I started writing, and became addicted. The words flowed so fast I was barely able to keep up. 'The Other Robin Hood' is the outcome, although the finished product is very different to the first draft!
What next? Well, I do have the outline for a sequel, but also I am reviewing a tome I wrote almost 20 years ago to see if it warrants 'cleaning up'. I have additionally identified another fascinating Highwayman from history about whom I am constructing a timeline with a view to a fairly lengthy dramatisation of HIS life.
