What if Robin Hood wasn't the man you thought him to be—what if he wasn't a man at all?

Robin of Locksley is young, headstrong, and about to receive the worst birthday present of her life. Still struggling to define herself in a society that believes women are fit for little more than governing a household and bearing children, she balks at her father's plans for her future, but the consequences of her rebellion prove deadly. Hunted by both her father and the Sheriff, Robin is forced to hide her identity and seek refuge as an outlaw in Sherwood Forest.

Disguised as a lad for protection, Robin maintains a careful isolation from the world around her...until she chances upon a young boy being beaten to death by the Sheriff's soldiers. Her rescue of the youth marks the beginning of her leadership in Sherwood forest and of the unfortunates who seek refuge therein. Robin's endeavors to provide a life of honor and purpose for her people while aiding the land's downtrodden win her high esteem, but enrage the Sheriff of Nottingham, who plots a deadly fate for her and her band.

As the Sheriff's traps close in around her and assassins seek to bring her down, Robin must risk losing love, leadership, and life if she is to save her people and fulfill her destiny as one of history's greatest heroes.

Alive with adventure and danger, sword fights and heists, hatred and love, Robin: Lady of Legend is the never-before-told tale of the girl who became Robin Hood.

Assessment Based On Books Robin: Lady of Legend (The Classic Adventures of the Girl Who Became Robin Hood)

This book is about a girl named Robin who ran away to avoid marrying the awful sheriff of Nottingham. She soon becomes the legendary Robin Hood. All right-- I was completely taken by this book. It was not some crappy retelling like some of the books I've read, it was a good twist on the original tale. I read the original book a couple of years ago, so while I was reading this, I could remember some of the scenes--but in this book the had the added element that Robin was secretly a girl. I was

So . . . . . this took me WAY longer to get through than i thought it would. :( and i waited EVER so patiently for it to come out in paperback so i could order it from amazon.com and it could joined ranks with my other 50 something Fictional Robin Hood books. (i'm only slightly obsessed. but i just can't help myself. there's just something wonderfully appealing a handsome outlaw stealing from corrupt rich and give his loot to the poor.) This one just didn't do it for me.Not to say it was

BLAND In a word. A young woman dodges a terrible arranged marriage by running away and accidently becoming the leader of a band of thieves who just happend to hassle the evil tyrrant she was supposed to marry and ultimately finding true love...If she did not have to pretend to be a man and end up also destroying her family in her act of rebellion, well I would say the entire affair was quite serendipitous. In fact, how it all comes together in the end is nothing short of engineered. As I

Popcorn book. Clever re-telling of the Robin Hood story. But can you really read any Robin Hood story without still thinking of foxes, a bear, a rooster, a tiger?

I'm a fan of Robin Hood stories, in addition to King Arthur stories. I appreciate when someone does something fresh with it, which is a tough thing to do. Make it too similar and it's boring. Make it too different and then it loses what drew people to the legend in the first place.The basic premise of this one is that Robin Hood is actually a girl, Marian's sister in fact (so, um, yeah, they're no longer lovers). She manages to successfully keep her gender secret once she makes Sherwood Forest

I love retellings. It is like you get to re-read a story that you enjoyed, but it is new again. It just makes me happy.So, what if Robin Hood was a woman?It's got everything that makes a story enjoyable: sword fights, survival, friendships that span even the greatest divides, betrayal, a bitter sweet love story and a perfect HEA. Robin could not go through an arranged marriage with the dreaded Sherrif of Nottingham. She 'borrows' her cousin's (Will Scarlet's) clothing and heads out on her own.

I really do love re-tellings, from fairy tales to different twists on the story of King Arthur and Robin Hood and his or in this case her Merry Men. So when I realized that I'd had this little gem sat on my Kindle for months I decided to give it a bash. Luckily for me I liked it, it pulled my sorry ass out of a four month long reading slump gave me a kick up the arse to get my nose back in a book. Robin: Lady of Legend is a retelling of Robin Hood where in this case Robin is an eighteen year old
