JUNO Editor –
All three of my children (aged 9, 7 and 4) enjoy me reading this large, hardbacked book to them. They are totally engaged by the stories of Robin, retold in such a way by David Calcurt that they are interesting and exciting but my 4 year old daughter is able to follow the tales and describe what has happened. There is an interesting introduction about Robin Hood and whether he really existed, and my 9 year old son said he liked the pictures because they were detailed and stood out from the page. An excellent introduction to the legend of Robin Hood.
