About This Book

A young boy named Robin travels with a cloth caravan near Sherwood Forest and is ambushed by robbers, thrown from his horse, and left stunned among the trees. He awakens on a mossy bank and soon faces a series of trials that test his courage and self-reliance. Episodes of skirmish, staff combat practice, and encounters with forest folk and companions gradually toughen him and sharpen his skills. The book proceeds as a sequence of adventurous vignettes that combine danger, training, and woodland life to trace the boy's steady growth into a confident woodsman.
