The story of Robin Hood is based on a real character known as Robin of Readsdale. He lives in Sherwood forest which appears as a peaceful and lively place. Robin is an archer and steals from the rich to give to the poor.
There is also a huge range of characters including; Marian, Little John, The Sheriff of Nottingham and Robins men.
Our favourite charcter was Robin Hood because he was an outlaw, who was brave, dangerous, adventurous, fierce and a leader.
Overall, we would recommend this book to children from the age of 8 and over.
