'The Tale of Robin Hood' takes us through layers of legend and centuries of time, to places where people sought to claim him as one of their own. This Northern English outlaw has lent his name to benevolent rogue in practically every country on earth, the United States and Mexico amongst others. Famous novelists, like Sir Walter Scott, used his persona to flesh out their works, and their embroidery of his myth has itself been incorporated into the legend and handed down as fact. Travelling through the realms that Robin is said to have haunted, and studying the literary sources that portrayed him, we attempt to find out who this man was and what he stood for, the outlaw of Sherwood Forest who became the prototype and quintessence of the image of the image of the romantic rebel.
