Robin Hood

Of all the myriad characters inhabiting England's vibrant past, Robin Hood stands out because he defied the odds to confront hypocrisy and injustice. This delightful volume reveals the exciting legend of Robin Hood and the many stories that feature him, the Merry Men, and the characters who inhabited his world. Besides retelling the legends and myths, the text includes possible candidates for who the "historical" Robin Hood might have been. Intriguing sidebars highlight historical points such as the outlaw life and weapons, and add commentary about the book's original artwork. Illustrations by Peter Dennis support the thrilling narrative.
