• The Adventures Of Robin Hood 16 March, 2007
The Adventures of Robin Hood is one of the most exciting books I have ever read. It is full of action and a great novel. It takes place when King Richard the Lion Heart was fighting in the crusades. Robin Hood is stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. It is filled with fighting with swords, bows and more. I believe the author wrote this to share a great leader is the best leader. It is a Puffin Classic by Roger Lancelyn Green. I liked this book because Robin Hood is great to his people and is always protecting them from the sheriff of Nottingham. Read this book of Robin's daring adventures with his followers living in the wild to see some of the great adventures he takes on against evil.

• A Keepsake Treasure 19 November, 2006
This popular version of the tale of highwayman Robin Hood is artfully written, and can be easily appreciated by adults as well as youngsters. The text is colorfully rendered, and the story is as fresh as when the first odes celebrating this infamous character were penned. Of the many versions I have read, Roger Lancelyn Green's remains my favorite. Apparently, many others must think so; this edition has been in print since 1956. However, the absolute icing on the cake in owning this edition are the exqusite illustrations by noted illustrator Walter Crane. The endpapers featuring silhouettes by E.H. Shepard are also charming. Whether you buy this book for the wonderful text, the fine illustrations, or the fact that it retains its antique look, you will not be disappointed.

• Not Free Sf Reader 03 March, 2008
Welcome to Sherwood Forest, children.
Much as he did in his other books, Green has put together a version of the Robin Hood legend to make it a somewhat coherent or cohesive set of tales for the younger reader with some flow.
Definitely recommended.
