Robin Hood and the Whispering Woods

A Twisted Fairy Tale Adventure by Robin Wickens

What if Robin Hood was allergic to horses, afraid of heights, and absolutely rubbish at archery?

Deep in the enchanted Whispering Woods, the legend you thought you knew gets turned upside down in this hilarious and heart-warming twist on the classic tale. Forget dashing outlaw—this Robin Hood is a scatter-brained inventor whose gadgets never work quite as intended. His Merry Men? A shape-shifting fox, a fairy prankster, a magical pie-baking friar, and the real leader of the bunch—Maid Marian, who’s got more brains than all of Nottinghamshire.

But when the greedy Sheriff steals the Heart-of-the-Wood—the acorn that keeps the forest alive—Robin and his oddball crew must face singing badgers, rhyming goblins, and an underground pie bakery run by enchanted woodland creatures. With time running out and jellybeans on the line, can Robin prove that true heroes come in all kinds of chaos?

Perfect for fans of fractured fairy tales, magical mishaps, and forest adventures full of laughter, teamwork, and pie-fuelled peril.
