Who or what was Robin Hood? Brian Allan shows that the truth is very different from what tradition tells us. Was he a fearless fighter for truth and justice who robbed the rich to help the poor and oppressed, or was he simply an outlaw who robbed anyone who crossed his path and kept the proceeds for himself: or was something else entirely?

Discover that the Robin Hood myth, complete with characters like the Merry Men, the wicked Sherriff of Nottingham and the beautiful Maid Marian, finds an exact match in tales from ancient India and beyond. Also discover that there was more than one Robin Hood and the origins of this character lie hidden deep within the legends of magical beings like ‘Herne the Hunter’, ‘Jack o’ the Woods’ and the ‘Green Man’. Even the title ‘Robin Hood’ was not a name, it was a definition and originally meant something entirely different. This book reveals that the legend of Robin Hood is exactly that, a legend, but designed to show that good always triumphs over evil, something that still resonates in the public imagination.
