Robin Hood

Who and what was Robin Hood? Why is an outlaw from 14th century England still a hero today, with films, festivals and songs dedicated to his memory? Robin Hood: People's Outlaw and Forest Hero explores the historical evidence and cultural significance of the legend of Robin Hood. With text by Paul Buhle and comics and assorted drawings by Christopher Hutchinson, it adds another dimension to the history and meaning of rebellion. It also features 30 pages of collages and comic art, recuperating seven centuries' worth of artistic interpretation.
