The Prince and the Poacher: 8

Reading time:(2 minutes)
And just as it turns out that the "outlaw" Robin Hood has a secret identity, the poacher Dickon turns out to be something more than he seems...

Questions. Make sure you can answer these questions about what you just read:

  • how does King John react to Dickon's escape?
  • what is Dickon trying to obtain?
  • how does he convince Robin that what he says is true?
