The Adventures of Robin Hood: An English Legend

1991Paul Creswick

4.8/5

This story right here was LEGENDARY. Get it? Because it's about a legend? Nevermind...This tale, published in 1902, is like taking a journey into the past. The language is beautiful old English, with words like forsooth, prithee, and belabor. But, holy cow, does Paul Creswick do an amazing job. From start to finish, I was engrossed by the story. I've actually never gone through the legend of Robin Hood before, save for the comedy movie that came out in the 90s, so this was essentially a new read for me. And what a read it was! I am eternally grateful for this book, for it got me through 2 days of no AC or power after Hurricane Irma. The thing is, I wouldn't really recommend this book to just anyone. Now, if you're an accomplished reader who is looking for a one-of-a-kind tale of unmatched heroism and dastardly adventure, then I highly recommend this book. It may take a while for an untrained eye to get used to the old speech, but once you get it you'll cruise right through. Two thumbs up. P.S. The illustrations are incredible; each one is a masterpiece of art!
