The earliest ballads of Robyn Hode are told in vivid modern prose--fast, violent, satirical, sinister, tragic, and national epic The five earliest ballads of Robyn Hode constitute the best version of the famous, heroic outlaw--fast and violent, earthy and satirical, dangerous, sinister, mysterious, and revolutionary.
