Robin Hood by Nick Rennison
Robin Hood is England's greatest folk hero. Everyone knows the story of the outlaw who robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. Nick Rennison's highly entertaining book begins with the search for the historical Robin. Was there ever a real Robin Hood? Rennison looks at the candidates who have been proposed over the years, from petty thieves to Knights Templar, before moving on to examine the many ways in which Robin Hood has been portrayed in literature and on the screen.
If you know nothing about the story of Robin Hood or want to know more about how the story has evolved over the centuries, this book is for you -- Paul Begg * welovethisbookcom *
