About this listen

In Merry England, in the time of old when good King Henry the Second ruled the land, there lived within the green glades of Sherwood Forest near Nottingham Town a famous outlaw whose name was Robin Hood. No archer ever lived that could speed a gray goose shaft with such skill and cunning as his, nor were there ever such yeomen as the sevenscore merry men that roamed with him through the greenwood shades.

He stole from the rich and gave to the poor, and in so doing became an undying symbol of virtue. But most important, Robin Hood and his band of merry men offer young audiences more than enough adventure and thrills to keep them listening intently. Filled with action, villains, and surprises, who could resist the arrows flying, danger lurking, and medieval intrigue?

A beautifuly sad ending to a joyous tale

Like most children in the 1960’s my home had a single black and white television and the viewing choices were made almost entirely by my father. I therefore saw many cowboy and war films and, of course, Robin Hood. I played lots of make-believe games about this story until someone pointed out that a girl could never be a merry man. However, I’ve always had a soft spot for the story based around the idea of being with a group of very good friends who feasted, played and worked together. Howard Pyle’s book does justice to the spirit of Robin Hood and I enjoyed the charmingly archaic language and characterisation. The descriptions of the forest are also very good.

A hearty boys’ own story
