Summary "Stories of Robin Hood" by Bertha Evangeline Bush is a collection of tales centered around the legendary figure Robin Hood, written in the early 20th century. The book captures the spirit of adventure and social justice during the oppressive Norman rule in England, depicting Robin Hood as a heroic outlaw who steals from the rich to give to the poor. The narrative reflects themes of chivalry, camaraderie, and a critique of authority, portraying Robin as a champion of the oppressed. The stories featured in this collection chronicle Robin Hood's escapades in Sherwood Forest alongside his loyal band of Merry Men, including characters like Little John, Friar Tuck, and Allen-a-Dale. Key tales include Robin's clever victories over the Sheriff of Nottingham, his recruitment of Little John through a friendly duel, and his intervention to ensure the rightful love of Allen-a-Dale triumphs over a forced marriage. Each story emphasizes Robin's bravery and moral integrity, engaging readers with his bold acts of defiance against unjust rulers. Overall, the collection serves not only as entertaining tales of adventure but also as reflections on compassion, loyalty, and the fight against inequality.
