Subject Matter

Character(s): Robin Hood; The Merrie Men
First Line: I have come against a master in this most dangerous game!
Synopsis: Robin's men are shunned in formerly-friendly villages, accused of looting. Robin's Merrie Men track the imposters, but Robin is braced by a master swordsman he barely defeats. More imposters have a master quarter-staffer who fights Robin on a spinning log. Finally a master archer trades arrows with Robin until he pins the imposter's shield to a tree. Prince John's men rush in, but Robin's band topples a wagon atop them - and are greeted as heroes by villagers.

Subject Matter
Genres: adventure, historical
Character(s): Robin Hood; Old Hugh; Sir Rolf; Osric of Dragosnmoor
First Line: Robin Hood was not always Master of Sherwood...
Synopsis: "A tale about the Ace Archer when he was a boy" In his boyhood, Robin shirks knightly training to wander the forest. Old Hugh secretly teaches the boy archer, but his huge bow is too mighty for Robin to bend. When brigands attack, Robin bends the bow and drives them off. Returning home, his father is challenged by vicious knights in a joust to the death! Honor demands. From cover, Robin shoots arrows to bowl evil knights from the saddle, saving the day. Yet he's chastened by his father for "wasting time with Old Hugh". Maybe someday he'll use the bow against villainy...
