Like his King Arthur, Lancelyn Green's Robin Hood is geared towards older children, so it has to be read in that frame of mind. Being disappointed in the former, I was prepared for the same, but was pleasantly surprised. This work flows a bit better, and the story is more coherent, than his Arthur. All the familiar characters are featured, and lots of adventures. I knew some, though not all, and I enjoyed expanding on a familiar legend. Many well-known places were named, which heightened the enjoyment- Nottingham, Sherwood, Yorkshire Moors, Fountains Abbey, Scarborough, Robin Hood's Bay- anyone living in north England will be able to visualize the locales easily.
