HOW DICKON MET ROBIN HOOD
IN SHERWOOD FORESTI


The following story is taken from
a book called, Bows Against the
Barons." 1t is story Of Robin
Hood. leader of band of outlaws,
and Dickon a boy who shared with
him the exciting adventures that
befell them.
Life was very cruel to the English
peasants and workers who lived 300
years ago The mobiles took away
their lands and made them slave
for the rich. Robin Hoods men
we're not Just outlaws. They were
poor peasants driven off their land
They were poor workers who for
some trihing offense were sentenced
to death. and fed to the forest to
save their lives.
Robin Hood stole from the rich
to give to the poor, for whose sake
he braved many dangers. He
dreamed of the day when there
would be no ruling class and all
workers would be free to work for
the common good.
Suddenly before Dickon had time
to realize it, he found himself with
his companion standing in the midst
Of the outlaw village.
Village, he called it in his mind,
for it was not camp, but it was
quite unlike Oxton or any other viii
lage he had ever seen.
1t was dell sheltered on one side
by a sandstone cliff, in the face of
which were several caves. Close by,
in a scattered semi-circle, were half
a dozen log huts, their sides thickly

her chin lifted a little above
the collar of her worn mink
coat, her hands clutching the
silver top of an old petit point
handbag that had been a very
handsome article when It was

bered that Aunt Edna had
