Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Robin Hood; by Anonymous" is a historical adventure tale written in the early 19th century. The book recounts the legendary exploits of Robin Hood, a skilled archer and outlaw from Nottinghamshire, who, along with his band of merry men, robs from the rich to give to the poor. It explores themes of heroism, justice, and the fight against tyranny in a time rife with corruption and hardship. The story begins with Robin's childhood and the loss of his ancestral estate due to deceitful clerical machinations. Living as an outlaw in Sherwood Forest, Robin Hood becomes a folk hero, known for his generosity towards the needy and his aversion to harming the innocent. He gathers a loyal band, including his close companion Little John, and engages in various escapades against the oppressive Sheriff of Nottingham. The narrative follows Robin's humorous and clever interactions with both foes and friends, culminating in his eventual good standing with King Richard the Lionheart, who grants him and his men a royal pardon. Through escapades involving trickery, archery contests, and acts of defiance against authority, Robin Hood's character embodies a mix of valiance and mischief, solidifying his legendary status in folklore.
