Description
Join us for a special evening to launch the debut novel of Amy S. Kaufman, The Traitor of Sherwood Forest, published by Penguin. The book is an immersive, sultry, heart-pounding historical reimagining of the Robin Hood ballads, as told through the piercing eyes of one of his spies. It’s “Sherwood Forest as you’ve never seen it: through a woman’s eyes.”
At this event, Kaufman will be in conversation with comic book artist and writer Michelle Wong. Books will be on hand for sale and signing. Tickets are free, but please RSVP here as space is limited.

The Traitor of Sherwood Forest
“A dazzling tapestry of history and legend, this is Sherwood Forest as you’ve never seen it: through a woman’s eyes. Kaufman delivers a medieval England so real, so full of light and shadows and nuanced characters, you can’t help but wonder if this is what really happened.” — Mary McMyne, author of The Book of Gothel and A Rose By Any Other Name
