Robin Hood's Feast

From Hero-Myths & Legends of the British Race, retold from M. I. Ebbutt

This story is retold from Hero-Myths & Legends of the British Race by M. I. Ebbutt, a collection published in the early twentieth century that gathered traditional tales of British heroes. The legend of Robin Hood—the outlaw who robbed the rich to help the poor—has been told for hundreds of years in ballads, stories, and plays. This text reflects its era; a few period terms have been modernised. The tale shows Robin Hood as a man of faith and honour, testing his guest's honesty and then offering generous help when he finds the knight truthful and in genuine need. It reminds us that true charity looks beyond appearances and that help given freely can change a life.
