A twelve-year-old boy finds a skull beside a disturbed grave and, as if in a dream, witnesses the story of Robin des Bois. While Richard the Lionheart is on crusade, his brother Prince John and the Sheriff of Nottingham oppress England; from Sherwood Forest, Robin and his companions defy that tyranny to restore justice.
French translation by Noël Chassériau and illustrations by Jean-Philippe Chabot. Work originally published in English as Robin of Sherwood. Edition from the Folio Junior collection published in 2018.
Recommended for readers aged 10 to 13, especially for those who want to discover the legend of Robin Hood in French.
