One and Only Robin Hood

The ever-fashionable Robin Hood creeps into the king's garden, takes his money, eats the queen's royal bread and honey, lets 4 and 20 blackbirds loose, and runs away with the maid. The money is distributed to the poor and an exuberant ring dance and the marriage of Robin and Merry Maid follows. Gray's retelling of the legend is cast appropriately in the question-and-answer format of medieval ballads sung by troubadours; Craig's Robin is true to the spirit of the prankish and heroic original. This updated version preserves and invigorates the story in rib-tickling pictures and words.Gray, Nigel is the author of 'One and Only Robin Hood' with ISBN 9780316325783 and ISBN 0316325783.
