Robin Hood Retellings

If you love the myth/legend of Robin Hood then you will definitely find a book in this list to be your next favorite read! And these were all recommended by readers for readers just like you!


List of Robin Hood Retellings

Before I jump right into the long list of books there are two I want to call out specifically:


Robyn Hood: A Girl's Tale (and Fight For Freedom) - These are my historical retellings where I reimagined the traditional legends and ballads if "Robin Hood" was actually a girl named "Robyn" who got roped into the role of outlaw by her friends and her compassion for the villagers.


The Wicked Prince by Celeste Baxendell - This fantasy book gets honorable mention because it was the most popular suggestion from the reader Facebook Group and many mentioned it is their favorite Robin Hood retelling!


Now for the full list! I asked my reader community for their top suggestions (I asked for no spice and low language but check reviews if you have questions about the content). The readers came up with a mix of everything from YA, to historical adventure, to fantasy romance so you probably haven't read all of these yet and there is sure to be something you'll like!

The Wicked Prince surprised me with how good it was. Celeste Baxendell did a great job with the characterization of both Robin and Prince John. Definitely worth a read, in my opinion.
