Finney Jackson is a dreamer living in Los Angeles. Just ask his ex-wife, Kath. They managed to last four years, but they were probably doomed. He was a dreamer living in the world of movies, and she was the practical one living in reality. Finney runs a movie revival theater, the Rosebud, and Kath is a free-lance journalist. When she gets the opportunity to visit the long-shuttered movie studios of Buford T. Baynes to do an article or maybe even a book on the reclusive billionaire's foray into the motion picture business, she enlists Finney as her expert on the subject. For Finney, this might be a dream come true. He has long wanted to find out if Billionaire Baynes' "lost" movies were truly lost . . . or just sitting in a vault at this studio. Two of these films in particular have long interested Finney: Ruthless, a heavy romantic saga of two sisters (Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich) in love the same man played by Cary Grant; and, perhaps more importantly, All Men Are Brothers, where Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton put aside their comic talents and appeared as brothers from Alsace-Lorraine fighting on opposite sides of the First World War. Finney must check this out! At the studio, making his way to the vault, Finney flips a switch and finds the lights don’t work. The bulbs probably burned out years ago. Kath will appear shortly with a flashlight, but Finney can’t wait; he wants to check out the vault. That isn’t one of his better ideas, and when he starts walking in the darkness, he realizes too late he had been standing at the top of a stairway. As he feels himself falling deeper in the darkness, he just knows Kath is going to be furious with him. He awakens some time later to find he is no longer in Baynes’ studio. He is outdoors, and the landscape doesn’t look like Southern California; it’s too green. Determined to find someone who can tell him where he is, Finney walks for several hours, but sees no one. Stopping to rest by a large rock, Finney hears sounds in the distance that start getting louder. Seven horsemen appear riding hard, and Finney is astonished by their appearance: These men are dressed in the armor and chain mail of medieval English soldiers! Finney is quickly spotted and brought before the group’s leader, whose smashed face leads Finney to think of him as Broken Nose. Finney explains to Broken Nose who he is and asks for their help, but the soldiers agree that taking Finney’s ears and reporting him as the poacher they were sent to find would be a much better idea. Finney breaks free and knocks Broken Nose down with a quick left/right combination, but there are too many soldiers to fight. They grab Finney’s arms and Broken Nose tells his men to hold him still. They do, and Broken Nose strikes Finney in the face and says, “After we have his ears, I want his tongue, too!” Finney spits in the leader’s face. Enraged, Broken Nose lifts his knife, but he seems to hesitate for a moment. Finney sees a look of incomprehension on Broken Nose’s face. He steps closer to Finney, but he drops his knife and falls forward on top of Finney. Still dazed from being hit in the face, Finney is trying to figure out what has happened when he sees the shaft of an arrow sticking out of the back of Broken Nose! The other soldiers look at one another and exclaim at the same time, “Robin Hood!” Arrows fly and more soldiers go down, but Finney thinks he must be dreaming because the face of Robin Hood is the spitting image of Errol Flynn, just as he looked in The Adventures of Robin Hood! But this couldn’t be Errol Flynn because Flynn died years ago! A blurry vision of Errol Flynn or Robin Hood or whatever else this could be smiles at Finney and says, “You will be all right, Lad. I am taking you to Sherwood with me.” Finney nods his head, as if that were the most natural thing in the world for him to do and passes out. The tale has begun in earnest as Finney goes Beyond

Like that Connecticut Yankee Hank Morgan before him By Lee Shore Like that Connecticut Yankee Hank Morgan before him, our contemporary protagonist takes a tumble and discovers himself in ye Olde England, but not the England of King Arthur’s fabled court but the more infamous one of King John. Good thing Finney Jackson of Los Angeles California made the state finals on his college fencing team, he’s gonna need all those moves. Finney’s trip to a mothballed Film Studio to do research with his journalist ex-wife starts the weird time shift in motion and I don’t want to give away too much but the movies are still very much with him when he arrives in the middle ages.I recommend this for all lovers of swashbuckling fiction, the action scenes are very well done but there is just as much romance of both the conventional and screw-ball variety. But like a Raphael Sabatini novel the adventure here is unleavened by any dismissal of the real consequences of violence. There are some very sobering scenes of things ‘going medieval’ that keep the mood from getting too giddy. In fact the most impressive effect Taylor brings off several times in the book is the deft key changes, in mood, atmosphere and attitude. There is certainly as much tragedy as triumph in this tale of 1215 and I found my elation was matched by sadness for the stories of these well-drawn characters. ‘Beyond the Flight of the Arrow’ is great read. Its heroes are presented in the round, and if the genre might be called fantasy fiction, there is nothing unreal about the presentation of real human beings facing timeless conflicts and ageless desires.
