| Summary |
"Robin Hood" by J. Walker McSpadden is a fictional adventure tale likely written during the late 19th century. The narrative follows the legendary outlaw Robin Hood, who famously robs from the rich to give to the poor, along with his band of merry men in Sherwood Forest, as they take on the oppressive Sheriff of Nottingham and navigate various escapades in their quest for justice. At the start of the story, Robin Hood is introduced as a skilled archer and the son of the now-deposed Head Forester of Sherwood Forest. After witnessing the wrongful imprisonment and subsequent death of his father, Robin vows to fight against the injustices inflicted by the Sheriff and his allies. The narrative reveals Robin's transition from a noble youth to an outlaw after a dramatic confrontation that leads him to escape into the forest. He quickly seeks to assemble a band of fellow outlaws who share his convictions, setting the stage for his legendary adventures as he seeks not only vengeance but also a life of freedom.
