Welcome to Sherwood Forest, children.
Much as he did in his other books, Green has put together a version of the Robin Hood legend to make it a somewhat coherent or cohesive set of tales for the younger reader with some flow.
Definitely recommended.
Rating: - great introduction to the classic folktales
This is the first Robin Hood book I've read, so I'm not sure how to compare it to others. It is a very well written compilation of many Robin Hood tales/ballads (some directly quoted at the beginning of each chapter). Robin's character, the wily fox, the quick-witted, is perfect.

The only thing lacking is drama or character depth that would come more from ... Read More
Rating: - Robin Hood
Robin Hood and his marry men go on adventures. They take on challenges of most arrows hitting the target. While he's fighting a foe he makes friends with him and the foe goes on his merry men. There was a police officer trying to capture Robin but he couldn't ever get Robin and his marry men.
I would recommend this book to age of 8-10 year olds because it's a fairytale and it's an easy read through the book. The best part of the book was Robin is one of the best archer's in the ... Read More

It is a Puffin Classic by Roger Lancelyn Green. I liked this book because Robin Hood is great to his people and is ... Read More
Rating: - A Keepsake Treasure
This popular version of the tale of highwayman Robin Hood is artfully written, and can be easily appreciated by adults as well as youngsters. The text is colorfully rendered, and the story is as fresh as when the first odes celebrating this infamous character were penned. Of the many versions I have read, Roger Lancelyn Green's remains my favorite. Apparently, many others must think so; this edition has been in print since 1956. However, the absolute icing on the cake in owning this edition are the exqusite ... Read More
