Book Review 11: Robin Hood

I read a book called “Robin Hood”. I read this book for the first time, and I found it was very interesting. Robin Hood, whose correct name was Robin Fitzooth. He was a great man because he robbed money or valuable things from greedy people, and he gave them to poor people. He was not greedy, but few people knew that he came from rich family. He was also half-Saxon and half-Norman.
His grandfather had three children. They were two sons and a daughter. Both of the men and their mother were killed by the Norman lord. The lord wanted the lands of Sir George Gamwell, Robin’s grandfather. Sir Gamwell decided to teach how to fight or how to use swords to his daughter. She learned well, and she became strong and beautiful.
One day, she said to her father that she wanted to marry a man. On the other day, the man visited the house, but the father never allowed her to marry him, because he was a Norman! Joanna decided to marry him, and she escaped from her father. Sir lost all of his family.
Next year, Joanna gave a birth to a boy. His name was Robin. This was Robin Fitzooth. His mother brought him to his grandfather. The grandfather was happy because he could have his family again. Robin was taught how to live in the forest.
When he grew up, he had a girlfriend. Her name was Lady Marian. She was very beautiful and other man wanted to marry her. The man was the Sheriff of Nottingham. He was very greedy man. He was connected to church. They had too much money in that time.
Robin decided to help the villagers and he had many plans to do. He escaped his lands and the Sheriff took the lands. Robin was called Robin Hood among the villagers. He stole many things from the Sheriff. Robin kidnapped some people sometimes. He served dinner for them, then he made them to pay for it.
Robin and his men liked to have many adventures. Robin was good at arrows and other weapons. So he cheated he Sheriff and his men in a contest.
The sheriff was eager to take Robin, but he escaped for the Sheriff by a hairbreadth. On the other day, the Sheriff of Nottingham planned how to take Robin, and Robin was injured badly. He was arrested in the tower. One of his men came, but it was too late. Robin could not move from the tower at all. Robin asked to help him with an arrow to the man. They pulled the arrow and it flew a long way into the forest, then he died.
There was a place in the forest near the abbey. There you can find the words “Under this stone is Robin Hood. Remember Robin and his men – No braver man will come again.”
