Robin Hood
The man: the legend. One of the greatest stories of all time! More than nine-and a half hours of listening.
JUST $9.65 to download! ($1 per hour of narration)
The story of Robin Hood is being re-told on the big screen, with Russell Crowe and Cate Blachett in the lead roles. However, this audio book is not associated with the new movie. It is the classic Robin Hood story, as told by Paul Creswick.
It's all here: the story of how Robin lost his birthright as the King's Ranger at Locksley, his archery feats at Nottingham, the outlaws' war with the Sheriff, Robin's pursuit of Marian, and many tales of bravery, rescue, laughter and rivalry with Little John, Friar Tuck, Allan-a-Dale, Much the Miller, Will Scarlett, and all the others.
Now you can have this incomparable story read to you, in a gripping new-release 2010 full stereo audio book. This audio book features a co-narrator, Sonya Matthews, who plays Marian.
The story is adapted from the Paul Creswick text. It is faithful to the original story, but with the language updated for the 21st century listener. (Listen to the "trailer" - the sample passages below.)
The MP3 CD and MP3 downloads each include two e-books: one e-Book featuring the original Paul Creswick text, the other e-Book featuring the abridged text used in the narration, so you can follow along with the narration if you wish.
The artwork on the front and back covers, and in the enclosed 16-page contents booklet, is by N.C. Wyeth, who did multiple cover 'plates' which were such a feature in the original 1903 book.
Now you can have this incomparable story read to you. This audio book is:
- 9 hours, 41 minutes
- 35 chapters divided into 90 audio tracks, making it easy to resume listening at any time
- all character voices
- features a full suite of sound effects and theme music
