| Summary | "Robin Hood" by Paul Creswick is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The book tells the legendary tale of Robin Hood, his adventures, and his life in Sherwood Forest, where he becomes a symbol of rebellion against injustice. Central characters include young Robin Fitzooth, known as Robin Hood, and his mother, alongside various other figures from the Robin Hood legend. At the start of the tale, we are introduced to Robin and his parents, Hugh Fitzooth and Dame Fitzooth, in their home at Locksley. The family discusses an invitation for Robin to attend a fair in Nottingham, sent by his uncle George of Gamewell. As excitement builds for the fair, Hugh Fitzooth reveals his pride and skepticism about mingling with the nobility, reflecting on his own lost fortunes. The scene is set for Robin's journey, filled with promise of adventure and encounters with the likes of outlaws as he sets forth, eagerly anticipating what the fair will unfold, unaware of the challenges and the life-changing events awaiting him.
