Tales Of Robin Hood And His Merry Men

Robin Hood was a legendary English outlaw and folk-hero who appears in ballads from the thirteenth century. He lived through the reign of Henry II, Richard I and John. He feuded with the Sheriff of Nottingham and lived in Sherwood Forest with a band of followers, his ‘Merry Men’. They robbed the rich to give to the poor. Among Robin’s companions were Little John, Friar Tuck, Will Scarlett and Alan-A-Dale.

It is said that Robin was born in about 1160 at Locksley, Nottinghamshire. Ancient ballads abound with anecdotes of his personal courage, skill in archery, generosity and great popularity. He protected women and children with knightly chivalry. The first literary mention of Robin Hood was in William Langland’s celebrated poem Piers Plowman (c. 1377).

The stories are sequential, so they should be read from the beginning to the end as several characters are introduced during the various adventures. The central themes are rooted in what is around us and what may have occurred or happened in the past or present, including physical items that may have existed before. The idea is to ask questions and interact with the storytelling. The stories have the ‘cuddle factor’ so that adults reading to their children can enjoy the story as much as the children who are listening to it.
