Robin Hood

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Grahame Baker-Smith. A playwright retells nine of the legendary hero's more familiar adventures, from Robin's first becoming an outlaw to a "last battle." Pitching to middle-grade readers, Calcutt writes in brief declarative sentences and lively dialogue lightened with a few modern colloquialisms. Baker-Smith's mixed-media, digitally blended illustrations feature craggily heroic, dramatically shadowed figures; delicate, misty landscapes and woodland creatures in occasional spot art add variety.
