[Tales of Robin Hood 01] • Le Prince Des Voleurs

The first volume of Alexandre Dumas' two-part interpretation of the story of

Robin Hood, popularized for Nineteenth Century audiences by Sir Walter Scott's

Ivanhoe, set in England in 1162-66.

In this book, Dumas tells the story of Robin Hood's youth: how he is delivered

by an unknown man to be raised by poor but honest foresters, his great skill

as an archer, how he comes into conflict with the Baron [sic] of Nottingham,

how he meets Friar Tuck, the Maid Marian, Little John, Will Scarlett, and

others, how he is declared an outlaw by the King, and decamps, with his

followers, into Sherwood Forest to wage war against the Baron.
