A review by ainiali
Robin Hood by Ioan Gruffudd, Joan Gruffudd, Neil Harris, Neil Philip

4.0

Tho I'd never read a single book about Robin Hood, I'd seen a documentary about him. In the documentary, they discussed about who is the real Robin Hood of Sherwood and there's a lot of theories about it. That alone made me curious about the story so I tried to read the ballad that was retold by Howard Pyle but I cannot truly understand it (que for argument about English not my mother-tongue). However, through this book, I've learned a lot.

I cannot say that this book contains a mere fiction because there's a lot of information about medieval life from who's who, the churches, their houses, how they lived, activities like archery to the crusade that joined by King Richard.

I would recommend this to everyone who's a fan of Robin Hood and children who want to read about Robin Hood because beside reading the fiction (retelling of the ballad), there's a lot of things about history that they can learn.
