Review: I found this one on the weeded cart at my local library and snatched it up right quick! I love Robin Hood re-tellings, and this one has gotten quite a bit of positive attention in the last few years. There is real honor among these thieves and so much more – making this a fight worth dying for.

As Gisbourne closes in a put innocent lives at risk, Scarlet must decide how much the people of Nottingham mean to her, especially John Little, a flirtatious fellow outlaw, and Robin, whose quick smiles have the rare power to unsettle her. The terrible events in her past that led Scarlet to hide her real identity are in danger of being exposed when the thief taker Lord Gisbourne arrives in town to rid Nottingham of the Hood and his men once and for all. Scarlet’s biggest secret of all is one only Robin and his men know…that she is posing as a thief that the slip of a boy who is fast with sharp knives is really a girl. Where Did I Get this Book: bought it from the library’s weeding cart!īook Description: Will Scarlet is good at two things: stealing from the rich and keeping secrets – skills that are in high demand in Robin Hood’s band of thieves, who protect the people of Nottingham from the evil sheriff. They will never thrill to 'Robin Hood, Robin Hood Riding through the glen, Robin Hood, Robin Hood With his band of men, Feared by the Bad Loved by good Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood.Publishing Info: Walker Childrens, February 2012 They get endless violent cartoon shows that are only created to sell merchandise. Part of me would like to see it again, but another part me is afraid that it would lose some of it's golden glow. Looking back after over 40 years, I realize that the relationship between Robin and Marian was more that of pals than lovers as befitted a Saturday morning show for kids. I don't remember her using a sword very much, but she was an excellent archer. Unlike most shows of the 50's, Marian did not just sit around in a long dress waiting to be rescued. Robin and his merry band not only defeated the Sheriff in every show, they did it with grace and humor.

The Sheriff of Nottingham was a dastardly villain with no sense of humor. He was remarkably good looking and charming.

I loved the show - and I loved Richard Greene. Of all the shows that I watched when I was a child, this is the one I liked the most.
