BBC Books, (London, 1990), Ist edition. Unpaginated, 11 3/4" H, soft cover. Full-color cartoons throughout. "After hours of painstaking research, the true story of what happened in Sherwood Forest has been uncovered: Maid Marian did all the work and Robin Hood took all the credit. Robin was actually a terrific coward. It was Marian, a born leader ever since she was her school's rounders captain, who managed to assemble a complete bunch of idiots to fight the evil ways of King John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. When the Beast of Bolsover, the foulest, most disgusting, bad-breathed squirrel strangler in the entire West Midlands, takes over Sherwood Forest, Maid Marian and her Merry Men are determined not to be evicted. But can even Marian outwit the cold-blooded maniacal Professor Nasty of the University of Disgusting Things that Make you Sick? Maybe she can, with the Sheriff of Nottingham's help. You don't believe me, do you? Well, read it and find out!" Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - minor edge wear. VG+.
