The Adventures of Robin Hood by Roger Lancelyn Green

4.0

This was a fun, classic adventure tale, with inspiration and history taken from the many tales, legends and myths of Robin Hood. I enjoyed learning more about Robin Hood and his band of merry men. This book addressed the political climate during this era in England, which I wasn’t expecting, but found quite interesting. The beginning and end of this book were fast paced and I really enjoyed them. The middle, however, read like a collection of short stories and was a little slower. The characters were fun to read about, my favorite of which being Maid Marian. She was truly a bada** and I wish she would have been more prevalent in the book. The setting of Sherwood Forest was one of my favorite parts about the book and is a place I have always been enchanted with. I was surprised at how dark parts of this book were and the ending really got me. Overall, I had a good time reading this book and look forward to reading more about Robin Hood in the future.
