(New adult, Novella, Multicultural: Saxon Norman romance ...)
New adult, Novella, Multicultural: Saxon Norman romance Genre: Historical Romance written in a lighthearted style. The authors says, "I'm portraying a young Robin and Marian with a twist to contrast some of the cliched and similar renditions you have read and seen over the years. I hope you enjoy a new look at these beloved characters. Short Synopsis: Twenty-one year old Robert of Loxley, later known as Robin Hood, romps through Sherwood Forest while his dearest childhood friend Marian returns from Queen Eleanor’s Court of Love all grown up and seeking him with desire and marriage in mind and a cup of mead or two or three to strengthen her will. She finds Robert all right, more interested in his wolf friends than her. The return of King Richard compels them to work together to save the king’s life and rekindles their deep feelings for each other. Unique points separating this tale from others: 1. Presents new adults, Robert and Marian, before he became the infamous outlaw Robin Hood. Since Prince John’s full malignant force was not fully felt until he became king in 1199, a rebellion of merry men would not likely have formed in 1194. You shall meet some of Robin’s future men in the life they led before turning outlaw. 2. Uncovers the never before told story of Robert’s protectors, the prolific wolves of Sherwood Forest. 3. Interprets Sir Guy, John Little, Will, Bess, as well as the world’s most famous couple in a refreshing new light. 4. Offers how Robin got his name. 5. Offers how he got his hood. Other points: 1. Hike through Sherwood, if you dare, hounded by the superstitions and fears of Anno Domini 1194. (See Aberdeen Bestiary – wolves). 2. Enjoy Will’s lyre and song, a few times. 3. Immerse into the culture, bravado, and dress of castle, hamlet, and forest. For those interested in history: The story covers, in the main, from March 13th, 1194 when King Richard lands in England to a couple of weeks later when Nottingham Castle falls. The author’s most fascinating and highly recommended source is, “The Siege of Nottingham Castle in 1194,” by Trevor Foulds, whose exhaustive research covers so much more than the title suggests by detailing events over time related to the struggle between John Lackland and his brother, the Lionheart. If you’d like to see more of Marian and Robert, perhaps more of when they were growing up, or this in a full length novel in paperback as well please do write to the author or publisher, and for any other reason. The author is a member of and adheres to the Romance Writers of America guidelines. A readers’ group study guide is available on request (rwrichard at ymail dot com). Thank you for purchasing my story. I hope you will have as much fun reading the tale as I did penning it. RW Richard

Lester, Richard was born on January 19, 1932 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Son of Elliott and Ella (Young) Lester.
Educated at the University of Pennsylvania.
Lester worked a good deal on TV commercials, and the modish, close-packed frenzy of that visual style marked him forever.
Even so. Three Musketeers is a merry, sunlit romance, still uncertain at storytelling, but based on very rich clothes, the palaces of Madrid, and a quirky, droll period authenticity. Robin and Marian was another revisiting of legend, done with humor and a wistful feeling of having grown older—the calmest film Lester ever made.
Lester went out of fashion with a bang. His Superman pictures were awTul, and by 1991 he had been reduced to filming a Paul McCartney concert.

Television director, Columbia Broadcasting System, 1951-1954, director, television Goon Shows, 1956.

The uncomfortable mixture of nostalgia for silent comedy and high-pressure cutting never abated in Lester’s supposedlv humorous films. Not only history makes one suspicious of American filmmakers who come to Britain; Lesters example is a horrid warning, especially since Petulia, his one American and most viewable movie, suggests that there may be a real person within the demented dull gimmickry of his English films. It would serve Lester right if he is tied down by the swinging London image he cultivated.
He failed to see how sentimental and donnish Goon humor was, and remained attached to that undisciplined prophet of pathetic revelation. Spike Milligan, in 1969, ten years after the Running, lumping mid Standing Still Film had exposed a joke that only cheered English complacency. Between those two films, Lester managed to make the Beatles at the time of their randy, aggressive best seem antiseptic: the miles of newsreel and interviews of the Beatles are infinitely more funny and surreal than their two movies, while the TV show Ready, Steady, Go always did their songs better.
Married Deirdre Vivian Smith, 1956. 2 children.
