At one point he's raising a ransom of King Richard, and later we're told he sent it, but.when and how did it go? We're told often that Robin robs the rich and gives to the poor, but despite hearing how he takes hundreds of pounds from corrupt church officials, we don't get much indication of where that money goes. This is definitely exciting action adventure, with Green giving the action most of the emphasis. Middle school? I think that's when I read a bunch of these Puffin Classics. I realize this was written in the 1950s and there is older stuff out there (like Ivanhoe which is on my list), but this is a good narrative style for our favorite archer. But yes I really like Robin Hood and seen a ton of movies and tv shows about him, but never actually read anything except for some okish books. I'm sure there is non-fiction, but this is a reversal tale that I think would actually work, just throwing ideas out there for others. I also wish (maybe it's already out there) someone with research would write a novel about Prince John as a good guy. I wonder if this story was political propaganda than just a simple legendary tale at times. King Richard and Prince John were actually kings of England.
Reading this though with some knowledge on history you have to realize that there are some real people in this story. Robin Hood is still my all time favorite literary hero. Anyways, this is something I really should have read when I first got it because I really like Robin Hood. He regularly outwits his evil enemies Guy of Gisborne and the immoral Sheriff of Nottingham, but wicked King John and his henchmen are never far behind.Įntrenched in the winding paths and secret glades of the forest, this special edition of The Adventures of Robin Hood is inspired by Earth Day, and introduced by actor and environmental activist Bonnie Wright.Another book that has just been sitting around collecting dust, kind of my reading goal this summer I'm noticing. Robin Hood, the legendary outlaw hero, steals from the rich to save the poor with his band of Merry Men in the vast Sherwood forest. This is the classic story of social justice and outrageous cunning. A collection of four special Puffin Classics designed to raise awareness of world environmental issues.
