My rating: ★★★★☆
I'm giving "Friar Tuck and the Christmas Devil" by Steven A. McKay a solid 3.5 stars, rounding it up to 4!
This is a quick little Christmas story about good ol' Friar Tuck from Robin Hood's gang.
I dove into it right during the holiday season, but honestly, since it's set way back in the Middle Ages, there weren't a lot of those cozy, festive vibes we usually associate with Christmas – you know, the kind that came about in Victorian times and onward.
The story really centers on Friar Tuck's adventure (which makes total sense since it's a short read). And while it's not a super dramatic, action-packed thing with crazy bravery or anything, it's *still* really good!
It manages to be poignant all the way through, and by the end, you're just breathing a sigh of relief that everything works out.
Aside from the little bit of suspense, what I really dug was the historical intro. It talked about the fears and superstitions people had back then, and gave some cool insights into Christmas rituals of the time.
Reading about Friar Tuck, who was such a big part of my childhood with all the books, cartoons, and TV shows, was like a super sweet and fun trip down memory lane.
Thanks for reading my thoughts! :-)
