The ace writerillustrator team of Ian Whybrow and Tony Ross is behind the Books for Boys classroom reader series (Hodder Read Alone pound;3.50 each).
These funny, inventive, high quality stories touch on subjects dear to boys’ hearts. The first batch of six ncludes Young Robin’s Hood, in which Whybrow imagines the adventures that Robin, his MerryMen and the future Sheriff of Nottingham would have got up to as youngsters. Wonderful stuff, with plenty to please both sexes, in spite of the series title.
