I have loved the story of Robin Hood ever since I was a little girl, first encountering it in the pages of Henry Gilbert's Robin Hood, a copy of which belonged to my mother as a child, and was subsequently passed down to me. I first read Margaret Early's retelling back in 1996, when it was published, and for many years I owned my own copy, until an unfortunate flood decimated my personal library. I recall thinking, reading this years ago, that Early's medieval style - somewhat flat, but beautifully ornate, with gorgeous decorative borders - was well-suited to the story. Picking it up today and reading it again, I still feel the same way, and I particularly enjoyed the banquet scene, with its use of red and gold, and the scene in which the outlaws, mounted on horseback in the snow, are giving aid to the impoverished people of the countryside. The story itself is engaging (of course!), although very text-heavy for a picture-book. I'd almost call this an illustrated short story, much like some of Early's other titles. Recommended to Robin Hood fans looking for an illustrated telling, and to fans of the artist's distinctive style. ( )
