"An original in the children's fantasy genre. The plot is clever and hilarious, but because the book was written in 1900 the language is more complex than most contemporary children's books"
"A great story for fantasy lovers. A few illustrated versions can be found, but you may prefer to let your imagination be entirely free to do the interpreting."
"The best version of Robin Hood for kids, in my opinion. Howard Pyle's language is too difficult for most kids to follow, and Green's version gives some background to the story."
"The style and feel of these stories is something you want to experience. Lester has retold the original Harris and modified the dialect, so the originals might be nice to read as well."
"A prose retelling of twelfth night, with illustrations that will capture the imaginations of younger children. A great first shakespeare story for kids."
