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.
