Walt Disney's Story of Robin Hood

by Trent Stephens

Walt Disney's Story of Robin Hood book and record

I was given the Disney Robin Hood book and record when I was about four. I wore it out listening to the record over and over and turning the pages of the book to follow along.

This book was the beginning of my fascination with England and the Middle Ages. I dreamed of being like King Richard and some day visiting a castle.

I now travel all over the world visiting castles. My mother used to tell me that I was descended from King Richard. I always knew that that was why I was so brave. I think I was in high school when I finally discovered that King Richard had no children. It turns out that I am descended from his brother, the evil King John, oh cruel reality. I still have the book but have long since lost the record.

Trent Stephens is the author of The Castle Builder's Handbook.

Webmaster's note: Alas, the Disney book below (with CD) is different from the out of print version Trent loved. Same idea though!
