depth and detail to the famous stories of Robin Hood. I thought this was very good.

Not a bad Robin Hood Novel, but has Robin Hood v. William the Conqueror. We see Saxon democrats v. Norman tyrants, but then Robin, for vengeance, not justice, joins against Waltheof another Saxon. Wrong time period for me.
