If you're looking for the best then read this version by Howard Pyle who wrote this with children in mind. Be prepared though. The speech of all the characters is quite old-English so some may have a hard time understanding it. Saying that I just read this to our 11 and 8 year old and they were gripped. The chapters are long so we only read one a day but they were eager to know what was going to happen next.
If you have a child that is into archery then the stories of Robin's feats with his bow and arrows will have them outside practicing. You will read of them in taverns drinking Malmsey (ale). Robin Hood and his men were outlaws who believed in taking from the rich and giving to the poor or keeping some for themselves. Until the fight with Guy Gisbourne towards the end which was a fight to the death, Robin was not interested in killing people. He wanted to test their strength and agility etc. Of course, how he shows up disguised in front of the Sheriff of Nottingham more than once is hilarious! Unlike the movies, Maid Marian is just given a passing mention in the book.
Warning: The ending is very sad and our 8 year old daughter cried. After all Robin's adventures and escapes, his demise at the end was so very unlike the rest of his life. Please also note there are NO pictures in this book.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED - should be in every family library.
If you ever get a chance to go visit Sherwood Forest and Kirklees Priory in England, do so!
The Classic Starts omit a lot of chapters and bring the language down more than I thought they would. But it makes sense being a "starter" type book. I am using these in a homeschool setting where my kids make lapbooks to go along with the story. They really enjoy it. Also, it's a great size for little ones to hold while you're reading together. Oh and just in case this might bother you, I'd like to mention that mine did arrive with the hardcover corners bent up. I bought several classic start titles at once and they all were received in similar condition.
Although many of the tales and adventures share reoccurring elements, it is the sense of triumphant innocence in the face of rampant corruption which lends vitality. It is a concept which transcended the time in which the stories first took place and retains its poignancy to the current age. Neither the sceptical, modern mind nor career-adult need bother themselves with this book. It's simple truths and enjoyment will only be revealed to beautifully naive.
This classic is such for a reason: adventure joyfully mixed with humor. I've been reading this aloud to my elementary-age boys and we are thoroughly enjoying it. Who knew it was so funny? We love reading it on the Kindle so we can instantly pull up definitions of archaic words when necessary.
This is a great Robin Hood story for Free for our ebooks! It is interesting from start to finish. I hated to see it end. If you have not actually read a book about Robin Hood ...you should. The TV shows and movies are good, but it seemed so much clearer to understand how he met his band of men and what and how they did what they did. Yes, this is a book to read!
