I grew up reading the Howard Pyle tellings of the Robin Hood stories so I was initially drawn to this audio collection by the author. But the real star here is the extraordinary voice of Ian Richardson whose range of expression and intonation give the stories added richness and depth. If you have ever watched Masterpiece Theater, you will have seen Richardson - he is currently appearing in a cameo role as the Chancellor in Bleak House. If you love good acting and good story-telling, this is the collection for you. If you find that you agree with my enthusiasm for Richardson, he has equally entrancing audio CDs of Machiavelli's The Prince and Dickens' Tale of Two Cities.
One of the best books I've read

It starts off with the birth of a soon to be king,Arthur. The book tells about Arthur,his life, and it told how he died. I think Howard Pyle is a great writer. I wrote this review as a responce to the book
