Blurb: “So little is left of the England that Robin
Hood and his merry men knew that it is doubtful if anyone of today would recognize it if it were possible to go to sleep in our England and to wake up in his.
Sherwood Forest stretched up from the neighborhood of Nottingham towards the little collection of huts that stood where Sheffield stands today.
No man knew all its depths, and parts of it were believed to be enchanted, haunted by gnomes and elves, and even fiery dragons. Here and there lived bands of desperate men, driven out from their villages in fear of their lives, ready to pounce on any travelers and rob them of all they possessed. These men were safe in the forest.
Then came Robin Hood, born a freeman-that is to say, he had never been a serf, but held his own land. He was an adventurous sort of man even in his youth, and knew as much as anyone of the intricacies of Sherwood Forest. A friend of the poor, and one who hated injustice, he made many friends, farmed his land, and treated his men fairly. Often he talked of equal justice for rich and poor, but in the beginning it was only talk, for such a thing seemed impossible. Most of all he hated the unjust game laws.
So things stood, with little law and still less justice in England, when Robin Hood was young.”
