life of this hero (or outlaw, depending on your point of view) is one
of adventure and excitement. Robin's a foxy master of disguise who uses
his wiles to help the poor, overtaxed people of Nottingham. "Steal
from the rich and give to the poor" is his motto. But Robin doesn't
think of it as stealing. Along with his sidekick, Little John, he considers
it only "borrowing" from those who can afford it. His favorite
target is greedy Prince John, and he manages to "borrow" the
very rings from the usurper's fingers. Even though such audacity reserves
him a place at the hangman's gallows, Robin's not worried. He doesn't
do it just for the adventure, but for Nottingham. The welfare of the people
is more important to him than his own neck. |
