Robin Hood Tales #19

In "The Strange Vow of Robin Hood!", the outlaw pledges never to set foot on English soil until he recovers gold stolen from King Richard—though the true thief is an English baron, not the French Normans. To honor his vow, Robin Hood employs a series of daring and inventive methods: boating across rivers, swinging through trees, riding a stag, rolling in a barrel, and even sprinting across a bolt of cloth to reach the castle and reclaim the treasure.

In "Maid Marion's Quest!", the Queen is imprisoned in the Black Castle, and the Merry Men vie to be the one to rescue her. When Marion insists on taking the challenge, she proves her skill by besting them in swordplay, quarterstaff, and horseback riding—earning her the chance to attempt the daring climb. Scaling the castle walls, she is captured, but her bold move creates the perfect distraction that allows Robin and the men to slip past unseen, storm the fortress, and free the Queen.

In "The Siege of Robin Hood Town!", Robin Hood arrives in the quiet village of Kingsbury to find it eerily empty—driven out by the Sheriff’s harsh decree. With the law allowing anyone to claim a deserted town after a full day, Robin stakes his claim in a daring race against the Sheriff’s men, dodging through rooftops, alleys, and even a well in a relentless chase that lasts from morning until sunset. When the villagers return, they discover a hidden silver vein beneath the town, and with it, a new name—and a new legend.
