I caution readers that this version of the tales of Robin Hood is told in an "old English" style that might try one's patience.  But the stories are worth the struggle.  Maid Marian is absent from the tales except as a passing mention but for those, especially, who cheered Errol Flynn and Richard Greene and Sean Connery (and his son, Jason) and Kevin Costner and others who have portrayed Robin Hood the tales are familiar turf.  And at last we learn what became of Robin beyond what we've seen in films and on TV.  Sherwood Forest is a wondrous place to get lost in.  These adventures are a pleasant escape from the digital world to the simple joys of the outdoors and a simpler time.  Hush!  I think I hear a swash buckling.
