Arrow Through the Heart - Paperback

by David Bird (Author), Marguerite Lihou (Illustrator)

David Bird's third book of Robin Hood bridge stories provides a feast of entertainment for his fans. The 27 stories contain 113 splendid deals and provide the laugh-aloud humor and painless instruction for which the author is renowned. With a cast list featuring Robin Hood, Maid Marian and the Outlaws - also their arch-enemies, the Sheriff of Nottingham and his hapless side-kick, Sir Guy of Gisborne - not to mention a host of nuns, priests, soldiers, ill-smelling serfs, horse traders, bishops, barmaids, young girls and ladies of the court to join in the fun - the deals played are ingenious and the adventures hilarious. Illustrator Marguerite Lihou is well known for her humorous touch and attention to detail. This is David's first book of stories to be illustrated. David Bird (England) has written over 130 bridge books, a record number, including over 50 for Master Point Press. He is well known for his humorous bridge fiction, including the Abbot series, which has run for nearly 40 years. Marguerite Lihou is an illustrator based in Bristol, UK and is also a bridge player. In her work she aims to capture the foibles of human nature with gentle humour and affection.
