Book Summary
Robin Hood by Henry Gilbert is a classic retelling of the legendary English folk hero who robs from the rich to give to the poor. First published in 1912, Gilbert's version is known for its more historically grounded and serious tone compared to earlier, more romanticized renditions. The novel follows Robin of Locksley, who becomes an outlaw after being wronged by corrupt noblemen and unjust laws under the rule of Prince John. With his band of loyal followers—Little John, Friar Tuck, Will Scarlet, and Maid Marian—Robin leads daring raids, defies the Sheriff of Nottingham, and protects the common folk of Sherwood Forest. The story combines action, honor, and rebellion, portraying Robin Hood not just as a merry trickster but as a freedom fighter challenging oppression and injustice.
