Maid Marian | Thomas Love Peacock

1 post | 1 read | 1 to read

Peacock's retelling of the legend of Robin Hood is as fresh today as it was when he penned it, nearly two hundred years ago. Here are all the heroes and villains we know and love, recast by a keen Victorian wit: Robin Hood and Maid Marian; Friar Tuck, Little John, and Richard the Lionhearted; Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. The heroes are heroic (and just a little self-serving, though generous) the villains are villainous (and greedy!); and the tale is told as keenly as it can be. Those who haven't read Peacock are in for a treat.(Jacketless library hardcover)

Maid Marian | Thomas Love Peacock

so-so

This was a fairly faithful retelling of #RobinHood for #FairytaleReadingChallenge

I liked it overall, but the large passages of song irritated me a little bit! It was quite interesting to compare key parts of the story to the retelling I read for Robin Hood last year and trying to work out who people were before name changes occurred.

I would have liked more action I think… 😂

This was also my #BookSpin
