Do we really need another Robin Hood adaptation?
Maybe not, but this one is pretty good anyway.
Danley sets her Robin in historical terms as opposed to the popular tales and songs. She draws on the ballads and, to a degree, on Pyle. So this is not a Hollywood or BBC version.
It is easily PG-13, though.
The plot is pretty straight forward, but it is a solid adaption and how Danely blends the ballads in is pretty good. She also creates a good Marian.
There isn't much magic, but there are some wonderful beautiful touches with native English birds.

It took me a while to get into this one, but when I did it rocketed along. All your favourite characters are here, but not how you think you know them.
