Robin Hood

De: David B. Coe

Narrado por: Robin Sachs

In 13th-century England, the legendary figure known by generations as Robin Hood leads an uprising that will forever alter the balance of world power and will make one man of humble beginnings an eternal symbol of freedom for his people.

An expert archer once interested only in self-preservation, Robin now serves in King Richard's army. Upon Richard's death, Robin travels to Nottingham, a town suffering from a despotic sheriff and crippling taxation. There he falls for the spirited widow Lady Marion, who is skeptical of the motivations of this mysterious crusader from the forest.

Hoping to earn the hand of Maid Marion and to save the village, Robin assembles a gang whose lethal mercenary skills are matched only by its appetite for life. Together, they begin preying on the indulgent upper class to correct the injustices of the sheriff. Now a major motion picture starring Oscar -winner Russell Crowe.

Robin Sachs is a great narrator

Robin Sachs' narration is the reason to buy this audible book. His characterization is very good and he brings the different characters alive. As this book is the story of a film, Robin Sachs narrates the frequent fight scenes well, lending drama to the reading. I enjoy his voice.

Cut movie scenes are told to give some insight

A hand full of additional information I found interesting and improving the story. Narrator did excellent job.

amazing voice

amazing voice and awesome accents. I didn't like the movie but this performance made the story enjoyable!

Really good book.

Great book to listen too. Follows really well with the movie & add a few parts in that were not in the movie. All around great book.

you can see the movie as though you were watching

I love the direction the Arthur took and presenting this version of Robin Hood. they did it in such a way that now I'm looking forward to the next release

A Merry Listen

I downloaded this version of the story of Robin Hood whilst in the Nottingham area for holiday 2022.
It was the perfect accompaniment to the trip and I greatly enjoyed being transported back to that story alongside walking through Sherwood Forrest!

David B. Coe is a wonderful story teller and I’ve had the privilege of sharing several conversations with him over the years. It was lovely to be able to support him in this way!

Just like the movie with Russell Crowe

I was very pleased listening to this Robin Hood novel. The narrator is fantastic at all, the various voices and characters and makes the story very interesting for anyone loving the Robin Hood story. Since I had just seen the movie with Russell Crowe, I was pleased that the movie was made directly off the book.

Absolutely loved it.

The story is fantastic and it makes me wish there were more stories to go along with it. The performance is well done and the story is so compelling.

Good book

Pretty much follows the 2010 movie. Still a good book. Definitely more details than the movie

Robin Hood Origin Story

The storytellers voice was masterful. He was able to convey action, suspense, heartbreak, and tenderness in equal measures. This book is great as an origin story of what became the legend of Robin Hood. Robin Longstride assumes the identity of a fallen knight of the crusades, Robin of Locksley, as well as brings news of the King's death. The story begins in earnest as Prince John assumes the throne, and Robin meets Locksley's widow, Marian. There is a great deal of swordplay, battlefield archery, suspense, and even some tender scenes. The female characters are presented with the same strength as the male, which I found incredibly refreshing.
