The Adventures of Robin Hood by Roger Lancelyn Green

5.0

I honestly went into this book expecting not to like it. You see, I'm obsessed with BBC's TV series Robin Hood, so I expected that I wouldn't like the "real" (or as close to it as one can get) version. But I was pleasantly surprised. I could actually merge the two versions in my mind quite well.

It was quite well written, taken, as much as possible, from old ballads and plays about Robin Hood, I really liked it. Green truly picked the best versions of all the different stories, and I loved how they all worked together!

Robin Hood is one of my heroes (if that doesn't sound too strange) and I loved this in-depth look at the classic tale of Robert Fitzooth, Earl of Huntingdon.

Written as a collection of stories, Roger Lancelyn Green truly captures the essence of Robin Hood in this book

I'm 15, and I HIGHLY recommend this book.
