Robin McKinley's take on the classic story of Robin Hood is an exciting and unusual read. I'm most familiar with the Disney version of events, and while I was aware that Robin Hood was not really a fox, the ending was somewhat disappointing. (You mean there are consequences at the end of robbing the rich to feed the poor?) It was still an enjoyable book, however, and I will definitely be reading it again.

If you thought this ending was disappointing, don't research how the original legends ended. Those endings are even worse. I actually like the book more as I gain more distance from the initial disappointment over it (and the legends') endings.
I read one about Rowan Hood (RObin's daughter). I liked it.
