Young Marian Echoes in the Cavern by Mandy Webster

Young Marian Echoes in the Cavern by Mandy Webster

As the nineteenth century ended, the popularity of sport hunting grew and Ontario wildlife became increasingly valuable. Who Controls the Hunt? examines how the provincial wildlife conservation laws that emerged in response reconciled - or failed to reconcile - First Nations treaty rights and the power of the state. David Calverley traces the political and legal arguments arising from the interplay of Ojibwa treaty rights, provincial and dominion government interests, and the corporate concerns of the Hudson's Bay Company. This nuanced examination of resource issues, constitutional questions, conservation paradigms, and historical factors particular to First Nations has regional focus but national relevance.

The idea for the Young Marian series came about in 2012 but the inspiration for the series probably began when author Mandy Webster moved to England at age 17. It was here she first became entranced by English folklore, particularly the stories of King Arthur, and the tales of Robin Hood. Scenes from the popular 80s BBC TV series Robin of Sherwood were also shot nearby. As a writer for the popular children's online game Webkinz, Mandy has written for children for years but always harboured a desire to author a children's book of her own. Her fascination with Robin Hood, England and medieval times never faded and became the focus of her first novel. It was only after she began working on the novel however that it occurred to Mandy that the story of Maid Marian had rarely been told. That sparked the idea to put the young lady into the starring role in her own series. Mandy's writing career has evolved over the years but began at Brunico Communications. During her time there, Mandy worked her way up from Production Assistant to Creative Director of Advertising. It was there Mandy had her first articles published and did her first ad copywriting. From Brunico, Mandy went to work as a copywriter at ACLC Advertising, where she wrote national television, radio, outdoor and print campaigns. In 1997, Mandy quit her job at ACLC to stay at home with her new baby. A few years and another baby later, Mandy started her own advertising business, combining her background in graphic design and copywriting to offer her clients a one-stop shop. She also worked in traditional media, drawing and painting, and has designed fleece baby blankets for a successful Canadian blanket company. After her third son started school, Mandy returned to work full time. At Webkinz, her passion for writing for children flourished. And that, combined with her love of reading to her three kids, convinced her to finally put pen to paper, and bring to life the story of Young Marian. And the rest, as they say, is history!
