Robin Hood, the thief of the affluent and protector of the poor in old England, is a familiar name. But he was no ordinary man, and the stories of his life, as told and retold by Henry Gilbert, are extraordinary victories of justice and right. The familiar incidents and characters are all present, including Little John's fight on the narrow bridge, the Sheriff of Nottingham's competition for the Golden Arrow, and Maid Marian's love for the outlaw Robin Hood. But this Robin Hood story brings Robin and his Merry Men to life like never before, with their bravery and strength in battle only equaled by their generous loyalty and love for friend, king, and God. Meet Robin Hood in the middle of all the splendour and tragedy of twelfth-century England, as religion battles greed and justice fights oppression. Gilbert's visceral and emotional story of one man's quest for justice demonstrates why the legend of Robin Hood endures and is worth repeating—because Robin Hood's devotion for justice and right is one worth adopting.
“He robs the rich and the proud who themselves have robbed to glut their greed and their pride; but he giveth aid and comfort to the poor, and that seemeth to be no man’s desire to do. I will gladly see this man, and by the favor of heaven I will make him my friend.”
