What if everything we believed about Robin Hood was a lie?

In The Traitor of Sherwood Forest, medieval scholar Amy S. Kaufman reimagines the oldest version of Robin Hood, the chaotic trickster found in the original ballads. Told through the eyes of one of Robin’s spies, a peasant girl named Jane, Kaufman’s novel explores voices rarely centered in historical fiction and weaves conversations about class, gender, the romanticization of war, and the dangerous allure of extremism into a deeply atmospheric, racing story.

Join the author for a conversation about how the medieval Robin Hood legend differs from our modern stories, the challenge of exploring the complicated roots of a beloved character, and what we can learn from morally gray heroes in the modern world.
