“Robin Hood and the Men of Greenwood: The Golden Days Series” is a captivating tale that brings to life the legendary figure of Robin Hood, the heroic outlaw who famously stole from the rich to give to the poor. The stories of Robin Hood stem from approximately 40 ballads and poems, with their core origins dating back as far as the 14th century. However, the historical basis has been somewhat lost and is further complicated by later additions and adaptations.

The immortal legend of Robin Hood has been retold in various forms, and one notable version is the 1912 edition by Henry Gilbert. In this rendition, Robin Hood and his band of merry men inhabit the lush greenwood, engaging in daring escapades, archery contests, and acts of justice. The tales depict Robin Hood as an archetypal hero—a medieval superman who champions the downtrodden and defies authority.
