I hope that the many tales and adventures of Robin Hood lives on forever, passed down throughout the ages until the end of time. With the newest Robin Hood reincarnation coming out this week, I’m sure this won’t be the last of its kind. There is no doubt about it: the plotline of robbing from the rich and giving to the poor and essentially sticking it to the man has always been topical and isn’t going anywhere. It’s amazing when you think about the fact that these stories are almost 700 years old and are still being re-molded and rebranded over and over again but maintain true at their core. We all have stories we gravitate toward, that hook us in every time, and Robin Hood is one of the most dynamic and transitional stories throughout the ages that has only grown with age. Collecting every copy of Robin Hood and his adventures as she can, she even has one from the early 1900s.
From watching Disney’s Robin Hood growing up to taking archery in college, the tales of Robin Hood have been in her life and are as much a part of her as any fandom love could be. My sister, for instance, is a huge Robin Hood fan and has been for most of her life. There is something about it that transcends time, and no matter how many reimaginings there are, each version feels like something new. Whether you prefer a more grim and violent interpretation or a more comical and carefree version of Robin Hood, there is a book, movie, or TV adaptation of these tales for everyone. Robin Hood: the unknown Templar by John Paul Davis.A Brief History of Robin Hood by Nigel Cawthorne.Robin Hood: a Mythic Biography by Stephen Thomas Knight.The Outlaws of Medieval Legend by Maurice Keen.These books go into the history behind the English Folktale and the ballads themselves.
Not only are there novels upon novels of Robin Hood retellings, but interesting books about the legend of Robin Hood itself.
