Robin Hood and His Merry Outlaws (Core Classics Series)

I was so very happy to find this book for my kindle my son has a habit of "leaving" his book at school, so I thought if I could find it online to buy them we would no longer have excuses!

Great school curriculum text!

This book is on a required reading list for my 4th grader.

My son got hooked onto this book. Recommended for school age children. Author did a great job in getting children's attention.

My son panicked when he forgot his book at school, so we purchased this to keep at home. No more stress and it's the exact version their reading at school.

Great book

Classic!

I sampled several versions of the Robin Hood stories before originally purchasing Howard Pyle's "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood". Pyle is fine, but a bit too wordy and stiff for my taste.I found a used copy of McSpadden's "Robin Hood and his Merry Outlaws" which, though using similar archaic language, has been more conducive to light reading and reading aloud; for that reason it is probably a better choice for younger readers as well.(I would be interested to learn if there is a still better choice than McSpadden.)I give it 4 stars because, while I like the McSpadden's prose and the simple B&W drawings by Louis Slobodkin are pleasant, the World Publishing Company (1946) edition itself, part of a "Classics to Grow On" series, is designed to be used and abused by children rather than grace a collection. (It appears there may be multiple versions published in '46, or at least different covers.)
