There are heroes that children will always play with, characters that inhabit the common memory of human childhood. Their names are a symbolic password, the response to it is a game. Of these passwords - the name of Robin Hood. We all grew up on folk ballads, brilliantly and very authoritatively translated by S.Ya. Marshak. The famous robber passes through the pages of Walter Scott’s novel “Ivanhoe” as a rather faded shadow. What else is there about Robin Hood in Russian - in prose and more? It may seem strange, but of the prose versions of “Robin Hood” for children, the one written in the 30s is still being republished. A continuous class struggle, gentlemen to the left, men to the right... Criminals instead of noble robbers... In the presented version, Robin Hood appears in a classless form. The defender born of the people's soul in the era of foreign conquest, the ruler of Loxley, whose estate was burned by his enemies, the Saxon who raised the sword against the tyranny of the Normans - this is Robin Hood. Robin Hood Games and Stories, the first ideas about which the book gives.
