The author sets out to unravel the mystery surrounding Britain's legendary hero. Just who was Robin Hood? When and where did he live? Was he really an outlaw? How did he die? By unearthing the historical evidence behind the legends, the authors sort out the fact from the fiction and come up with a few surprises. This text links to the History Curriculum in both its subject and evidence-based approach. The book is illustrated in colour with many authentic historical sources.
