Michael Morpurgo is one of my favourite children's authors. I know I am always in safe hands when I pick up one of his books and "Outlaw: the story of Robin Hood" was no exception. Despite not having an animal character in it, this novel gave an interesting, entertaining introduction to the story of Robin Hood.
