Robin Hood is one of the most popular characters of English folk legend and Michael Morpurgo paints a suitably romantic and heroic picture of him in this lively story. Following a big storm, a young boy in the present sets out to check on the survival of his favourite tree. When he finds a mysterious skull he is swept back into the past – right into the world of Robin Hood and his merry band of outlaws. Michael Morpurgo brings the life of the forest alive as Robin and his men fight for justice for the oppressed against the tyrannical Sheriff of Nottingham.
