Robin Hood

From mediaeval times to modern day, people have been endlessly fascinated by tales of the famous outlaw who allegedly robbed the rich to give to the poor. But who was Robin Hood really — aristocrat or commoner; hero or villain? Where did he really come from? Sheffield and Yorkshire claim him as their own son as much as Nottinghamshire ever did. Myths abound and in this book, with all the humour, affection and gently mocking criticism of the bestselling NESSIE, Richard Brassey gently pokes fun at the falsehoods while pursuing what appears to be the truth.
