Robin Hood, whether riding through the glen, robbing the rich to pay the poor or giving the Sheriff of Nottingham his come-uppance, is one of the most captivating and controversial legendary figures. Was there a historical figure behind the legends? Did Robin and his Merry Men rampage through Sherwood Forest? Or did he spend most of his time in Barnsdale Wood in Yorkshire? And is the story of the freedom-loving Saxons refusing to be put under the Norman yoke, as portrayed in the Errol Flynn films, true?
Drawing on ballads, poems, proverbs, films, novels, folklore, musicals and place names, Mike Dixon-Kennedy ranges far and wide in his quest to present a complete picture of the exploits of this indestructible hero.
MIKE DIXON-KENNEDY had a longstanding interest in mythology and legends, and developed a database of world mythology. He authored several books, including Heroes of the Round Table, Encyclopedia of Graeco-Roman Mythology and A Companion to Arthurian and Celtic Myths and Legends.
