Outlaw: The story of Robin Hood

(1 reviews)

Author: Sir Michael Morpurgo

Publisher: Harper Collins

This classic story is given a contemporary twist. The Merry Men become the Outlaws: a gang of the disabled, disfigured and dispossessed fighting back against tyranny; Marion weds Robin and begets a son; Richard the Lionheart is the statesman who prefers foreign travel to domestic politics; and Robin, ennobled by Richard, becomes staid and complacent in later life. This is a thoroughly enjoyable, action-packed adventure.
