J Tullos Hennig

J. Tullos Hennig is the author of the Books of the Wode, a five-novel fantasy series published between 2013 and 2020 that reimagines the Robin Hood legend through a queer and feminist lens. In Hennig's telling, Robin Hood becomes a druid entangled in a same-sex romance with Guy of Gisbourne, while Maid Marion is reworked as Robin's sister rather than his love interest. Set in twelfth-century England, the series—Greenwode, Shirewode, Winterwode, Summerwode, and Wyldingwode—weaves Celtic druidic tradition and pagan myth against the pressures of Norman conquest and Christian authority. Reviewers have praised the series for its ambitious reworking of familiar legend and its dense, poetic worldbuilding, though some found the elaborate description occasionally slowed the pacing.
