The story of "Robin Hood" is a classic tale of social justice and outrageous cunning. Robin Hood, who is oppressed by 12th century England, shines forth as champion of the poor and against the cruel power of Prince John and the brutal Sheriff of Nottingham. Taking refuge with his Merrie Men in the vast Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood emerges time and time again to outwit his enemies with daring and panache. With Robin Hood, reader will find themselves wanting justice, and being prepared to make unselfish sacrifices in order to achieve it. In the story of "Robin Hood," it is actually the greed and corruption of the nobility that has led to its own destruction and ruin when justice is finally served. Robin Hood clearly represents a form of hedonism, and in his company there is never a lack of action, adventure, or for that matter - ale. There is no end to the accomplishments of muscles and mind, as Robin and his merry band outwit all comers by sheer physical skill in archery, wrestling, swordmanship, and quarter-staff combat, or by outsmarting them with deceit and disguise. To our delight, Robin's brawn and brains always come out on top at the end. Along with the tales of King Arthur, the tales of "Robin Hood" are the most exciting tales that British history has produced. This retelling of Robin Hood's adventures, written by J. Walker McSpadden and published in 1891, will not disappoint.
