Summary "Robin Hood and His Merry Foresters" by Joseph Cundall is a compilation of tales about the legendary outlaw written in the early 19th century. The book presents a fictionalized account of Robin Hood's youth and adventures, as well as his band of followers known as the Merry Men, set during the time of King Henry II of England. The narrative seeks to capture the themes of adventure, camaraderie, and social justice through the exploits of Robin Hood and his companions. The opening of the book sets the stage for Robin Hood's character by introducing his early life, highlighting his skills in archery and his rebellious spirit against the king’s foresters. It begins with recollections of schoolboy fondness for Robin Hood tales, transitioning into a scene where young Robin first proves his remarkable archery skills. After an altercation with the foresters, he becomes an outlaw, living in Sherwood Forest and gathering a group of fellow outcasts. The narrative flows into his encounters with new characters like Little John, who joins the band after a friendly contest, presenting a mix of humor and bravery as Robin Hood navigates his newfound life as a leader of outlaws in a vibrant green-wood setting.
