As per https://literature.stackexchange.com/a/21828/96, this is Outlaw: The True Story of Robin Hood by Michael Morpurgo.
When I was a kid in the early 2000's my family would take out lots of audiobooks from the library. One that I can remember but have never been able to find was a sort of re-framing of the Robin Hood stories. A boy was staying with his grandmother and would go spend the day outside, he fell asleep and ended up dreaming all the stories of Robin Hood which were the main part of the audiobook, the boy was only really mentioned at the beginning and end. The story he is dreaming ends with Robin Hood being killed by poison. The boy wakes up and heads back to his grandmother's house, picking some berries on the way. He almost eats them but decides to share them with her, but when he shows her she says they're deadly nightshade.
I don't know if this was a print book originally, and I can't remember if it was an audiobook with just a narrator or more of a radio play with voice actors as well. Does anyone else remember anything like this?
