[From front paste-down] In spite of space-men and jet-pilots, I often think we can never beat the old heroes; that is why I have chosen to write this story about someone who was my hero as a boy - Robin Hood. After all, there's something about climbing trees, and bows and arrows, which never grows old! These stories (in a different form) were first broadcast in 1940, and have been repeated in Children's Hour both on sound and television. But then they didn't have the splendid pictures they have in this book. I'm writing some more Robin Hood adventures for you - so look out for them!
