Alan Marks is widely published and has illustrated many books. He is also a 'Smarties Prize' prize winner. Rob Lloyd Jones never wanted to be a writer when he grew up - he wanted to be Indiana Jones. So he studied Egyptology and archaeology and went on trips to faraway places. But all he found were interesting stories, so he decided to write them down. Jake Atlas and the Hunt for the Feathered God is Rob's fourth novel, though he has written more than thirty other books for children, including non-fiction and adaptations of such classics as Jekyll and Hyde. He lives in East Sussex with his wife and two young sons.
This book contains the following story:
Robin Hood
Whether or not there was ever a real Robin Hood, the stories about him have been told over and over again for centuries. How outlaws rescued him from the evil Sheriff of Nottingham, how Maid Marian joined them, how they robbed the rich to feed the poor and rescued innocent children from the gallows.
