I found that out when I read the 'Tales of Robin Hood, more than 50 years ago.
Heh...when I was little, we were hooked on Robin Hood and also “The Boy’s King Arthur”, which I actually just had out. Pretty brutal, that one. Pages of detailed head bashing and bowel spilling. Lovely.
It’s interesting that even all these centuries later, there is still so much appeal to the old tales of knights and kings, lords and ladies, sword play and archery....
