The Adventures of Robin Hood by Roger Lancelyn Green
4.0
4.0 Stars.
I have always been fascinated with Robin Hood and wanted to read some of the stories written about him for quite some time now, though finding a book and author who portrayed the whole saga as reliably as possible overwhelmed me. I found this edition of Green in a secondhand store in New Zealand for 50 cents and couldn’t resist, because at a price like that you can’t really go wrong.
Though I liked the book, it obviously is aimed at younger readers or people only interested in an overview on the topic, and so the various chapters were kept short and to the point. It made me realise I’d like to read a more in-depth story, almost something like a novel about the legends of Robin Hood and Maid Marian and the Outlaws of Sherwood Forest. Have to have a look around for that. For the start this book was a nice introduction!
