There are heroes who belong to history, and others who seem to have grown straight from the roots of the forest. Robin Hood is one of them. His name instantly calls to mind a green hood, a drawn bow, an arrow loosed in the shadow of the trees, a defiant laugh in the face of the powerful, and that mythical forest that became his kingdom : Sherwood Forest. And yet, behind the familiar image of the beloved folk hero lies a legend far older, rougher, and more shifting, shaped by centuries of songs, tales, and medieval stories. This Robin Hood book invites you to rediscover Robin Hood through a sweeping fictional adaptation inspired by the old English ballads. Here you will find the birth of the outlaw, his flight into Sherwood, the forming of his band, his friendship with Little John, his clashes with the Sheriff of Nottingham, his tricks, his duels, his victories, but also the invisible wounds of a life lived on the margins of the kingdom. Here, Robin is not merely a hero from a fairy tale for children. He is a free man in a world that does not forgive freedom. He steals, defies, protects, sometimes makes mistakes, but refuses to bow before injustice. Around him, the companions of Sherwood become far more than a band of outlaws : they form a brotherhood born of hunger, anger, humor, danger, and hope.
