About the Book: Robin Hood (Wordsworth Classics)
Robin Hood is perhaps the greatest of all British folk heroes. Henry Gilberts
book assembles all the disparate elements of the legend into an elegiac and

familiar set-pieces of the story that gives to the whole the grandeur of an
epic. Robin Hood is a dashing romantic hero, an enemy of injustice and a friend
to the downtrodden and he emerges from the text as a vivid and fully rounded
individual. All the regular characters are here, too, including Little John,
Friar Tuck, Will Scarlet and Maid
