經典故事的巧妙翻轉 淘氣卻仗義的少女英姿
她身手俐落、善於拉弓使劍，總為正確之事挺身而出，而你永遠能在綠林深處的老橡樹旁找到她—經典英國民間傳說主角，諾丁漢的俠盜英雄羅賓漢，但好像與小時候聽過的版本有點不同？
對上向居民們巧取豪奪的郡長，少女羅賓即將踏上一場刺激歡騰的壯闊冒險，旅途上惡作劇與混亂不斷！她能從這位貪婪腐敗的治安官手中，保護所有人(及他們的財產)嗎？
有別於傳統故事描述中，留著一口鬍子、高大壯碩的男子形象，也與某些改編影視作品中的青澀少年模樣大相逕庭，擅長描繪女孩們勇敢英姿及機敏聰慧的暢銷繪本作家Bethan Woollvin貝森伍文，以少女羅賓為主角，將這位夥同綠林好漢，與腐敗的諾丁漢官僚鬥智鬥勇的俠盜羅賓漢做了幽默的翻轉及重新詮釋，同時保留了這位傳奇人物其機智與充滿勇氣，不畏強權行俠仗義的美好特質。
★閱讀亮點：
■ 看作者如何以獨特視角，幽默且大膽地切入並翻轉經典故事中的傳統元素
■ 在惡作劇與笑料之中傳遞的，以小博大、挺身而出反抗壓迫的little rebel精神
