Leggendario eroe dell'Inghilterra medioevale, Robin Hood 'rubava ai ricchi per dare ai poveri', come recita una delle tante ballate a lui dedicate. Con la sua banda, tra cui Little John e Friar Tuck, si rifugia nell'inaccessibile foresta di Sherwood, seguito dall'amata Marian. In costante lotta con lo sceriffo di Nottingham ma leale al re, il più famoso e amato fuorilegge della storia farà rivivere un periodo di grande interesse storico come quello delle Crociate e di Riccardo Cuor di Leone.
Gli stimolanti inserti di approfondimento arricchiscono notevolmente questo piacevole libro di lettura.
