Book Reviews of Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest
Book Review: A changed story
Summary: 3 Stars
One of the most known versions of Robin Hood comes from Ivanhoe (Penguin Classics).
The general story is that the Sheriff of Nottingham is a Norman servant of King John , King Richard's brother.
Robin of Locksley is a Saxon Nobel whose father is dispossessed while Robin is away fighting with King Richard in the crusades.
So on two counts the story is faulty from the traditional Robin Hood:
1) the historical period of Saxon and Normans, crusades
2) the age of Robin, here 17, as too young
There have been something like ten movies, three major releases, of Robin Hood. Most have used the Locksley model of history with King John as a major source of the trouble of turning good Saxons bad in a Norman ruled era.
Although not that bad in the telling as it covers the major tales involved,the object of education is faulted in the historical errors.
