Reviews for The Adventures of Robin Hood

[Karen Coates · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Although I don't know if there's an official collection of the Robin Hood stories, I liked these stories very much.

As always, narrator Rebecca K. Reynolds is an excellent teller of tales. Appropriately, she begins her reading with a somber tone, foreshadowing Robin’s slaying of a deer and his self-defense killing of an enemy. This serious mood continues through many of the tales because they often feature a more somber atmosphere than much of the Oasis audio children’s collection.

This collection might be more interesting and more appropriate for older or more mature children than those who enjoy their simpler ones.
