The Peacock Tree

About this book

You see, The Peacock Tree is real and so is the Castle. Rumors of Robin Hood's bow-stashed up the Castle's chimney-still circulate in the neighboring villages of Helpston and Marholm. Here, each night, the peacocks flutter up to the high branches of the old proud oak tree. Here an ancient conversation about the simpler times of a simpler place was imagined. Here the children realize what we all must do: take care of each other.
