[Synopsis]
Robin Hood is a hero of English folk tales. He is believed to have lived in Nottinghamshire about 700 years ago. He lost his home and ran away into the Sherwood Forest. There, he gathered together a band of merry men. They robbed the rich to help the poor. Robin Hood appears in songs, plays, games, novels, musicals, films, and TV series.
This book is rewritten from “Stories of Robin Hood Told to the Children” by H. E. Marshall (1867– 1941), English author of children’s historical stories.
