Excitement: we now have the complete series one and two of Robin Hood in the Young Adult DVD collection for your viewing pleasure. All swashbuckling fun, gripping action and witty one-liners, we know you’ll love it … and for the bargain basement price of 50 cents each (on a YA card) you can’t really say no, can you? I was going to describe the series to you, but the blurbs on the DVD cases are so entertaining…

Series One:
Robin of Locksley heads home from the Crusades to find his people starving and brutalised under the tyrannical rule of the new sheriff. Robin quickly discovers that the only way to reason with this Sheriff is with bow and arrow – even if it means sacrificing his title and his lands and consigning himself to life in the forest.

Series Two:
In the second series of Robin Hood the stakes are now much higher. The fight is for the very soul of England as the Sheriff of Nottingham and his sadistic lieutenant, Guy of Gisborne, hatch a scheme to assassinate King Richard and put Prince John on the throne. With a traitor in the gang, Maid Marion remaining in the castle as a spy, and Prince John threatening to raze Nottingham to the ground if the Sheriff is killed, the odds are stacked against Robin and his men. Only through bravery, breathtaking archery and swordplay, as well as more outrageous scams, disguises and tricks, can the band of brothers hope to save the king and the country…

I love that last sentence. It really does sum it up perfectly.
