The Meeting Place

Robin of Sherwood, Book 1

By: Jennifer Ash, Barnaby Eaton-Jones

Narrated by: Peter Llewellyn Williams, Sheila Ham, Barnaby Eaton-Jones

The village of Papplewick has a new head family keen to exchange goodwill with the outlaws. Much is less than thrilled when Robin decides he should be the one to meet with the head villager’s eldest child each month, to swap tax money for food and information. The last thing Much wants is to trudge across Sherwood in all weathers to talk to a girl.

For Fanatic Robin of Sherwood Fans Only

I was hoping for some Robin of Sherwood magic, but found none here. The basic story is about Robin's pal Much meeting a farm girl in the forrest, and falling in love with her while teaching her how to keep very quiet to avoid detection by the Sherif's soldiers. That's about it. The story could have been told in 5 minutes, but was padded to bursting with insipid and boring dialogue and monologues.
