Days of old bursting with pageantry, knights, and beautiful maidens return in a superb classic story
Review: To my great disappointment I have to say I finished this out of stubbornness and nothing else. It was badly written, boring and repetitative. A huge disappointment to somebody like me who grew up on the Disney and 1939-movies, had my first crush as a 3-year-old on their version of Robin Hood and was looking forward to reading the book behind the movie. A waste of time. I may read Howard Pyle's version at some point, but right now I'm not rushing to do so.
