It's a good read, a nice blend of research and action. But the Magna Carta stuff's a bit over the top. This is due, of course to the strait jacket placed on RH by Sir Walter Scott, when he plummeted a "Yeoman named Locksley" into "Ivanhoe", 'cause it seemed a good idea at the time. There's really very little evidence to place Robin Hood in Richard I's England, a lot more for an early 1300's origin. I did read this one twice. ( )
