Robin Hood is champion of the poor and oppressed against the cruel power of Prince John and the brutal Sheriff of Nottingham. He takes refuge with his Merry Men in the vast Sherwood Forest, emerging time and again to outwit his enemies with daring and panache. Roger Green's version brings sense and clarity as well as excitement to the varied myths, ballads and legends about Robin's adventures. And this handsome edition boasts the sixteen classic color illustrations by Walter Crane.
