Summary: Deep in Sherwood Forest, the legendary Robin Hood-the brave, good-humored outlaw- proves himself the best in England with his bow. Here are all the exciting tales of how Little John, Will Scarlet, Alan a Dale, and Friar Tuck joined his merry band of men...Robin Hood's breathtaking escapes from his arch enemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham...and one hilarious escapade after another, filled with quick action, scheming villains, and great surprises. 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.
