Centuries ago people loved to tell each other stories of Robin
Hood. Later he became a famous character in books and
films.
People have told stories about Robin Hood for more than 700
years.
Nobody knows if he was a real person or an invented
character. In the legends, Robin was extremely intelligent and
had a playful sense of humour. He loved playing tricks on
people. The stories say that Robin Hood was a skilled archer
and he always carried a bow and arrow. 'Ha-ha, too easy!' He
wore green clothes and a hat with a green feather. He lived in
Sherwood Forest with a group of outlaws, or criminals
“Merry Men'. The group included Friar Tuck, Little John,
who was unusually tall, and Maid Marian. Sherwood Forest
was a royal hunting forest near Nottingham in England. Most
people thought that forests were dangerous places to go.
People travelling through the forests were often robbed by
outlaws. “Your money, please, my Lord!' The stories say that
Robin Hood only took money from rich people so that he
could give it to people who needed it. So he became famous
for ‘robbing from the rich and giving to the poor'. The
Sheriff of Nottingham was Robin's arch-enemy. The Sheriff
of Nottingham tried to catch Robin Hood, but never
succeeded.
