Robin Hood Tales #9

In the absence of King Richard, who fights in the Crusades, Prince John seizes the English throne, plunging the realm into turmoil. With his estate stolen and his name cast as an outlaw, Lord Robert of Huntington retreats to Sherwood Forest, taking the alias Robin Hood and rallying loyal men to resist tyranny. When he learns that his childhood friend Maid Marian is being forced into a marriage she does not want, Robin Hood leads his Merry Men on their first daring mission: to rescue her from a fate she cannot escape.

In "The Scourge of the Bailiff!", Robin and his men take aim at the greedy Bailiff of Cransford, whose relentless tax demands are crushing the village. With clever traps and bold defiance, they turn the tables on a man who’s forgotten the meaning of justice.

In "The Golden Rain," Will Scarlet slips into the Sheriff’s stronghold disguised as a courtier, his mission to reach Little John, imprisoned within the fortress walls. With careful planning and a bold ruse, the two craft a diversion that could turn the tide—but the real test is whether Robin and his band can strike at just the right moment.
