Robin Hood by Ioan Gruffudd, Joan Gruffudd, Neil Harris, Neil Philip
4.0
What an unexpected delight this was!
It's hard to impress me with Robin Hood books, especially ones aimed at younger audiences, not necessarily because they're bad but because I've simply read so many of them it is hard to surprise me.
This is very abbreviated, obviously, but I really enjoyed the voice and the few unique things Neil Philip did with the narrative. I also quite liked the information in the side-panels and the few double-page spreads. Lots of it was old news considering my degree in history and my personal focus on the Middle Ages, but very little of it was inaccurate, though it was obviously quite generalized. There were even a few things I hadn't heard of before.
All in all, really enjoyable.
