This fresh adaptation of the well-known English hero combines characters and elements from several medieval texts and gives it all a modern twist, emphasizing a community of heroes (men AND women) rather than a one-man approach to heroism. Robin Hood and his friends--the hulking barbarian Little John, the kindhearted Friar Tuck, the sharpshooting woman-in-man's clothing Scarlet, the jovial minstrel Alan-a-Dale and the retired soldier David of Duncaster--band together to save the poor people of Nottingham from unjust taxation and poverty at the hands of Prince John and his longsuffering yet cruel Sheriff. Two gypsy orphans, Maid Marion's handmaiden and a mysterious stranger share a secret that could win the day--or see Robin hanged by morning!
