Product Description
Product Description
This is the latest in Spike's hilarious re-interpretations of classic works of literature, now available in paperback. This version of Robin Hood has Robin and his merry men when the King's deer manage to evade their arrows, dining out at McDonald's, Kentucky Fried Chicken and eating jam sandwiches. Nevertheless, they are still more than willing to do battle with Robin's arch enemy Sir Guy de Custard Gisborne. The fair Maid Marion, of course, is the object of much of Robin's attention, and his pursuit of the beautiful Marion leads him and his men into many adventures. Lucky for him that his band of outlaws include the immensely strong Big Dick and immensely insolent Groucho Marx. Paying Scant regrd to any previous versions of this age old folk tale, Spike thunders through his riotous story like a runaway horse through Sherwood.
From the Back Cover
Sharper than the edge of a mighty broadsword and slicker than a speeding arrow, Spike Milligan rampages through the tale of Robin Hood like an outlaw on the run through Sherwood Forest.
All of Robin's Merry Men are in attendance in Spike's Robin Hood, although not quite as they were in the original. Maid Marion is a champion pole vaulter, Little John has been renamed Big Dick (for reasons we need not go into here) and Will Scarlet and Friar Tuck are joined by a brand new addition to the renegade band - Groucho Marx.
Together the men, and women, of Sherwood do battle against the evil Prince John, the despicable Sheriff of Nottingham and the loathsome Sir Guy de Custard Gisborne.
'Who loosed that arrow?' demanded Prince John. He turned as he spoke and saw at the edge of the glade a man wearing a green cloak over his suit of brown widdling against a tree. 'Who goes there?' called the Prince, pointing to the tree. 'We all do.'
You've never seen anything like this in green tights before.
