Description
What if Maid Marian were the real outlaw?
Returning from an extended trip abroad, Maid Marian finds that much about her beloved England has changed. Her best friend, Robin, has been banished; her beloved uncle, King Richard, is dead; and the village of Nottingham and its citizens have been impoverished by taxes.
With the help of her lady's maid, Lady Kluck, Marian decides to take matters into her own paws. She is determined to help all the villagers while also solving the mystery surrounding her uncle's death.
Deep in the woods, she finds Robin and his Merry Men. Will they help Marian with her plan or leave her and Lady Kluck to forge ahead on their own?

absolutely love these fun takes on Disney hero’s. So cool we finally have a Robin Hood themed book! I’m very excited to share this one with readers and I hope for many more of these types of books to come! Perfect for Disney lovers wanting a unique twist on their beloved favorite characters
Thank you Netgalley and Igloo books for my ARC copy.
This is one of my favourite Disney movies so when I saw that this was a twisted retelling, I knew I had to read it, it really did not disappoint. I loved this so much!!Maid Marian was an absolute badass in this, the story was excellent and I will 100% be recommending this.
Robin Hood but with foxes- what a wonderful premise!
Much like with Sally's Lament, I could picture everything that happened but the prose tself wasn't for me.
I'd recommend it to younger readers.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the ARC
This was amazing.
I love retellings and I absolutely love Disney.
I recently read the arc of a nightmare before Christmas, Sally’s Lament novel and it was everything and this one was the cherry on the cake too!
Highly recommend to anyone and everyone who loves Disney and/or retellings too!
I enjoyed seeing a badass Maid Marion!
Yet again this is another great addition to the Twisted Tales collection! I cannot wait to read more
What a fab retelling of this Disney story. I really enjoyed this .would recommend to kids of all ages . thank you for the opportunity to review
4.25 ⭐️
I haven’t had great luck with reading Disney Twisted Tales in the past, but when I saw it was Mari Mancusi (I love her Frozen books) writing this one, I knew I had to give it a go. And I am happy to say, I was not disappointed.
In Robin Hood, Maid Marion is more of a side character/love interest, but in this book she finally gets a chance to shine. She doesn’t just love Robin, she’s interested in politics, equal treatment in the kingdom and doing right by its citizens - she’s also pretty badass!
I purely couldn’t give it 5⭐️, because I found the romance a bit rushed, but still really cute.
It has been years since I watched Disney’s Robin Hood, but I loved this retelling. Maid Marian is the main character, and she is so much more than Robin’s romantic interest. Returning to England she finds the King, her uncle, has died in an on road attack as he (and Robin) were making their way home from war. Now, the greedy Prince John rules and taxes the country to starvation. Marian can’t accept this and with her former nursemaid, Lady Kluck, schemes to help the poor by robbing from the rich.
Another great addition to the Twisted Tales. I’m going to look for other Mari Mancusi offerings and recommend this book and also Sally’s Lament!
