Not Free SF Reader March 3, 2008
Blue Tyson
Welcome to Sherwood Forest, children.
Much as he did in his other books, Green has put together a version of the Robin Hood legend to make it a somewhat coherent or cohesive set of tales for the younger reader with some flow.
Definitely recommended.
great introduction to the classic folktales June 10, 2007
Kelsey May Dangelo (Vermont)
This is the first Robin Hood book I've read, so I'm not sure how to compare it to others. It is a very well written compilation of many Robin Hood tales/ballads (some directly quoted at the beginning of each chapter). Robin's character, the wily fox, the quick-witted, is perfect. His banter and trickster tales and the highlight of the book. Marian is strong and capable and very different from the modern adaptations of her. The only thing lacking is drama or character depth that would come more from a novel-form rather than folk/oral retelling. Still, great introduction for into the folktale. Grade: B+
Robin Hood June 6, 2007
Robin Hood and his marry men go on adventures. They take on challenges of most arrows hitting the target. While he's fighting a foe he makes friends with him and the foe goes on his merry men. There was a police officer trying to capture Robin but he couldn't ever get Robin and his marry men.
I would recommend this book to age of 8-10 year olds because it's a fairytale and it's an easy read through the book. The best part of the book was Robin is one of the best archer's in the world. He faces one of the other best archers in the world and it's a close win.
I think people should read this book because if someone likes adventures, old times, and archers, they should read Robin Hood.
 The Adventures of Robin Hood March 16, 2007
The Adventures of Robin Hood is one of the most exciting books I have ever read. It is full of action and a great novel. It takes place when King Richard the Lion Heart was fighting in the crusades. Robin Hood is stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. It is filled with fighting with swords, bows and more. I believe the author wrote this to share a great leader is the best leader. It is a Puffin Classic by Roger Lancelyn Green. I liked this book because Robin Hood is great to his people and is always protecting them from the sheriff of Nottingham. Read this book of Robin's daring adventures with his followers living in the wild to see some of the great adventures he takes on against evil.

This popular version of the tale of highwayman Robin Hood is artfully written, and can be easily appreciated by adults as well as youngsters. The text is colorfully rendered, and the story is as fresh as when the first odes celebrating this infamous character were penned. Of the many versions I have read, Roger Lancelyn Green's remains my favorite. Apparently, many others must think so; this edition has been in print since 1956. However, the absolute icing on the cake in owning this edition are the exqusite illustrations by noted illustrator Walter Crane. The endpapers featuring silhouettes by E.H. Shepard are also charming. Whether you buy this book for the wonderful text, the fine illustrations, or the fact that it retains its antique look, you will not be disappointed.
