The Return of Robin Hood was the third novel released in the Puffin Classics crossovers range on 21 July 2022[1] by BBC Children's Books. Written by Paul Magrs, it featured the Fourth Doctor, Sarah Jane Smith, Harry Sullivan, and an adaption of the Robin Hood mythology.
Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]
Gold had come to the greenwood . . .
Robin Hood is disenchanted. Maid Marion has disappeared, and the legend of the Doctor has retreated into the shadows of Sherwood Forest.
But the Doctor is back! (Although this is his first visit - time travel does strange things to a story.)
And the timing couldn’t be better. A new Sheriff of Nottingham is in town, out to get the Outlaws, and behind the scenes, the mythical Mother Maudlin has designs on the realm that are not of this earth...
With the Kingdom in peril, it’s time for the return of the Lionheart.

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Towards the start of the book, Allan-A-Dale claims that the events of Robot of Sherwood took place "more than twenty years ago". However The Return of Robin Hood is later stated to occur in autumn 1192 "ish", while in Robot of Sherwood the date was given as autumn 1190 "ish". Even considering the vagueness of these dates, Richard I was King in both stories, and his reign only lasted ten years. Either Allan was exaggerating the timeframe, or he made a mistake, or Paul Magrs did.
Continuity[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Sarah thinks the Doctor is deliberately avoiding the Brigadier's summons. (TV: Revenge of the Cybermen)
