Summary: Did Robin Hood really exist, or was he based on one or more people who lived in the thirteenth century? This fascinating book examines the issue of his identity, and explores in full the mythology of the famous figure and those associated with him. The author has done an excellent job in picking his way through so many threads on such a complex subject.
