Robin loses his home when a ruthless sheriff forces him into exile. He retreats to England's dense woodlands in the 12th century, where his archery skills become legendary. Around him gathers a devoted group of fellow outcasts, each cast out by the same corrupt system that destroyed Robin's life. Together they launch raids against dishonest nobles, stealing their ill-gotten wealth. Robin ensures every coin reaches the hands of struggling peasants and forgotten poor. His reputation spreads across the countryside, but fame brings danger. The sheriff's soldiers hunt him relentlessly through every grove and glade. When Robin attempts a bold rescue mission, he faces his greatest peril yet. The operation threatens not just his own survival but the safety of everyone who depends on him. Robin must choose between his personal safety and his commitment to those he has sworn to protect. Andrea Jones retells this classic tale through Alfred Allinson's translation, capturing both the adventure and the moral weight of Robin's choices.
