Have you heard of Robin Hood? Of course you have. Have you heard of Michael Morpurgo? I’m guessing the answer to that one is yes as well. This new version of one of England’s most famous legends, told by one of the country’s most popular authors, is surely a can’t miss prospect, isn’t it?
I doubt I need to mention this - I have a feeling most people who love children's books will have seen that it's Morpurgo and Robin Hood and rushed out to buy it without even reading the body of the review! - but if I haven't made it clear enough, strong recommendation here.
If this is your first Morpurgo book, I'm jealous of the amount of excellent writing you have left to savour from him! With the recent movie release, War Horse is obviously getting a lot of publicity, but [[Private Peaceful by Michael Morpurgo|Private Peaceful]] is just as fantastic.
Another children's book in which Robin Hood features - although not as the main character this time - is [[The Youngest Templar: Keeper of the Grail by Michael P. Spradlin]], which we highly recommend.
