Robin Hood
Geoff Taylor
Being a great follower of Robin Hood and his merry men, the reading of this offering from Edward Blishen came as no penance to me! Here are some of the best known tales about the outlaw and the characters associated with him, simply written for lower junior age children to enjoy. The smattering of Old English poetry adds a period authenticity, and is a welcome touch by a Carnegie medal winning co-author of The God Beneath the Sea. Ideal for the youngster who is growing in reading maturity.
