Hello this is my second book report blog and I will be talking about the setting and the conflict in the book called "The adventures of Robin Hood" by John Boyne. So far I've read 60 pages out of 295. Here is a picture of the book's cover.  


So the book is set in late-medieval England, specifically in the Sherwood Forests. There is no exact year, but it is in the late 16th and early 17th century. The Sherwood Forest is logically a forest, but not an ordinary one, it's a royal forest. 

The conflicts are man vs society and man vs man, because the society is corrupted and bad, because the king and his followers rob the poor and give it to the rich, so the protagonist tries to fix it and so he robs the rich and gives it to the poor. The second conflict is as I already said man vs man; it's because sometimes it gets personal between the protagonist and the antagonist because king John really gets angry and wants to catch Robin and his men. 
I hope you enjoyed it.

  1. Dear Maksim,

    Good post! I wish next time you explained why it was a "Royal" Forest. Looking forward to more posts about this classic and well know story!
