6 cassettes in one case, 8vo., a fine set. Publisher's code CAB 524; total playing time 7 hours 40 minutes. Chivers Audio Books are arguably the finest audio books available. The author's original text is unabridged, the readers (usually professional actors or broadcasters) are selected for the quality of their characterisations, the recordings are produced to high standards in Dolby stereo and the cassettes or discs are housed in robust 'diamond' packs. Not surprisingly, used sets are scarce and almost invariably ex-institutional copies. Sets in the present state and condition are very uncommon.

ill., br. Fuorilegge esperto nel tiro con l'arco, circondato dai suoi allegri compagni vestiti di verde e sempre pronto a festeggiare con banchetti, canti e balli, Robin Hood è uno dei personaggi più popolari della letteratura inglese a partire dal Medioevo. Nobile decaduto che vive nei boschi, nemico dei ricchi ma sempre pronto ad aiutare chi ne ha bisogno, Robin coltiva il segreto desiderio di riconquistare la grazia presso il re, senza tuttavia rinunciare a scherzi e beffe nei confronti dei suoi nemici. Un libro che raccoglie alcune delle storie più antiche di Robin Hood per ricostruire l'origine di una leggenda indimenticabile.
