A Robin Hood Book     Author/s: Alan Halsey Publisher West House Books ISBN 0-9521891-3-5 pp: 64 Format: Book Category: Literature Subject: Poetry     Our Price: £ 8.95   Prose-poem/essay. 'A Robin Hood Book is not a straight retelling of the Hood legends, but an examination and explanation, a convoluted diatribe where past and present politics are shown up for what they are (or were); a studious prose conceived from the twists and vagaries of history, part plot, part un-plot, embellished with poetry, or possessed to completion by the stabbing (un)certainties that come part and parcel with the outlaw mind ... we should try to read A Robin Hood Book as both radical and dangerous.' (Paul Green, Chicago Review) 'What happens here is an act of super-construction, this Robin Hood lives ... And the whole thing runs so smooth -- the language is childishly simple to begin with then gets progressively more involved, but look for the joins in vain. This is entertainment of a high order.' (Tim Allen, Terrible Work)
