Nottingham

The True Story of Robyn Hood

De: Anna Burke

Narrado por: Annette Romano

After a fateful hunting accident sends her on the run from the law, Robyn finds herself deep in the heart of Sherwood Forest. All she really wants to do is provide for her family and stay out of trouble, but when the damnable Sheriff of Nottingham levies the largest tax in the history of England, she's forced to take matters into her own hands. Relying on the help of her merry band of misfits and the sheriff’s intriguing - and off-limits - daughter, Marian, Robyn must find a way to pull off the biggest heist Sherwood has ever seen.

With both heart and freedom at stake, just how much is she willing to risk to ensure the safety of the ones she loves?

Nottingham is a delightful romp rife with boys bearing bows, transmen wielding quarterstaffs, noble ladies loving ladies, bawdy bisexual musicians, naughty nonbinary outlaws, and saucy sapphic nuns - in other words, Robyn Hood like you've never seen her before.

Delightful retelling

I love Anna Burke’s retellings of classic fairytales. Her character’s always find their strength rather than constant damsel in distress. I was not a fan of the narration but able to get over it to listen. Romano was definitely trying to channel a bit of an Essex accent but It took a while to get into it since she’s clearly American.

Absorbing and Adventurous

I have heard this story in so many ways but I loved this version the best! The narrator has such distinctive voices for all the characters it's like you are in the middle of this adventure as it swirls around you! I'm certain I will listen again!

Pretty good

The narrator took me some time to get used to. Beginning was a little bit slow but overall I really enjoyed it!

Nice

I can't wait to see what other adventures these ladies and gentlemen can get up to. I really enjoyed this book and the spin on the classic was really refreshing.

Good listen

Was engaged through out the whole book. The only way I could see it better is if more was done with the friendship and interest of the side characters. However I am not complaining.
