Book Description

This novel tells of a young lord who, to test the love of a girl, pretends to be a fugitive, an outlaw, until he finds himself in the grip of genuine outlaws, of Robin Hood, and his crew.

The Robin Hood we meet in these pages is by no means the philanthropic hero of popular fancy, he is no jolly singing lad more bent on skylarking than on gold, but is shown as the true outlaw of the Middle Ages, a brave, cruel outcast, simple yet cunning, urged on always by a violent hatred of society, contemptuously viewing the world through the diminishing glass of his own colossal vanity.
