Recounts the legend of Robin Hood, who plundered the king's purse and poached his deer and whose generosity endeared him to the poor.

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.

John Scarfield. Doubtless some data concerning his death and the destruction of his schooner might be gathered from the report of Lieutenant Mainwaring, now filed in the archives of the Navy Department, but beyond such bald and bloodless narrative the author knows of nothing, unless it be the little chap-book history published by Isaiah Thomas in Newburyport about the year 1821-22, entitled, "A True History of the Life and Death of Captain Jack Scarfield...read more
