This book gave a shortened version about the story of Robin Hood. It starts in medieval time and in a town where the king is treating the people unjustly, Robin a rich man at first goes to war and comes back to his property being taken and realises just how unfair the king is being. Robin takes action with some people that see things as he does such as a, friar, his old sweetheart and other brave people.
The book gave good imagery and was easy to read. The writing was a little too simple and it took away from the characters personalities. The book did a good job of over all shorting the story and making it a good story.
Robin Hood made a right decision on bringing the truth. When the Cruel King replace the King of the country, everything been change. Robin Hood and his follower are hiding in the jungle and he married his Lady there.
I think it would make more sense to integrate the questions into the story rather than having the pre-reading at the end, for example (yes, we didn’t notice them before we read, oops!)
