Product description

How does the book explain how a stance becomes a decisive decision and a swift arrow towards its goal? It is not just an arrow but a strength and courage that stem from a soul commanding justice, trying to penetrate dark and violent layers of classism, greed, and injustice. The author (Howard Peil) takes us through Sherwood Forest, from the beginnings where Robin Hood's character and his dearest friends are formed, in joyful and lively adventures that make both young and old live in that green forest with him, wandering its mysterious paths, sharing everything with him until the end. It is the will of the bold path that one chooses for oneself, standing with the truth with a brave heart, a faithful spirit, and arrows that do not miss their target! He is a hero who is half real / half legendary, with historical research differing in determining his truth and his era, but the accuracy of his arrow shooting, and his stances on justice, altruism, and sacrifice, have become a symbol of the free, noble, brave spirit. The events of the novel take place in the early Middle Ages, in a historical context referring to Richard the Lionheart, and the Crusades on Muslim lands in Palestine and the East. The reader can find a diverse number of stories narrating Robin Hood's adventures, with various additions and omissions, but the American author and illustrator (Howard Peil) (1853-1911) tried to present a comprehensive version, including the most famous related events, enhanced with illustrations, making the novel aimed at juvenile fiction, but it is for adults and all ages without doubt. It is worth mentioning that the story of Robin Hood has gained a wide international scope and still does, in cinema, animated films, and comic magazines. Year of publication: 2020.
