Robin Hood and the Castle of Bones

By: Angus Donald

Narrated by: Mike Rogers

Spring, 1192. Robin Hood and his band of men, travelling home from the Third Crusade, find themselves in the lush, wine-rich Duchy of Burgundy. When they are captured by a renegade knight and taken across the River Saone to the rival County of Burgundy, they are plunged into a nightmarish world of treachery, deceit and cold-blooded murder.

While the cunning Earl of Locksley plots and schemes to advance King Richard's cause in the two Burgundies, Alan Dale, his loyal lieutenant and personal trouvère, embarks on a private quest to rescue a damsel in distress and falls foul of the monstrous guardian of the Castle of Bones.

Never enough to read

Angus Donald to me is the best example of an author who knows how to make you ask “yeah I know he survives, but how in the HELL does Alan survive this???” Over and over. And it never feels forced or like he has plot armor. Well done.

Excellent coming of age

Intentions and idealism blind young Alan to reality in this humorous yet deadly side jaunt in Robin’s merry men’s return from the 3rd Crusade. Perfectly narrated, cheeky and cunningly written, a must listen for any fan of the series!

Another great book, written and read.

I say keep the tales going. Hope for more. The best way to read these books are by audio and this specific reader.

Sorry to come to the end.

Such an interesting and exciting read. The entire series has you hooked from the first novel to the last.
