Robin Hood rescues children from the Sheriff's custody in Nottingham Town and uses Little John's flying invention to escape with them by air. Later, Robin encounters Lord Crandall at an inn and engages him in a high-stakes chess game, ultimately defeating him and winning the nobleman's purse to aid the poor. Robin then delivers his winnings to old James at a cottage, providing relief to those in need.

Contains 3 stories
How Will Stutely Walked into the Hands of the Sheriff's Men. How Robin Hood Led a Daring Rescue.
13 pp · Adventure, Historical

Will Stutely's cover is blown at the Blue Boar Inn when the Sheriff's men spot Lincoln Green beneath his friar's disguise, and he's captured and sentenced to hang. Robin Hood learns of his comrade's fate and races to Nottingham with his men, mingling with the crowds gathering for the execution—but as the cart carrying Will toward the gallows rolls through the streets, the outlaw leader must find his moment to strike before it's too late.

How Little John Set about to Fly the Biggest Kite in All Merry England and Soon Found That Not Only the Kite Was Flying
9 pp · Adventure, Historical

Little John boasts he can build a kite twice his own size—and when it actually flies, the massive contraption sweeps him and a group of local children high into the air toward Nottingham Town. As the unlikely airborne party drifts over the Sheriff's domain, Little John must use his wits to keep his young companions safe while outwitting the authorities determined to capture him.

How Robin Hood, with the Help of Old James, Escaped the King's Foresters, and Thereby Lived to Help the Old Man in Return.
10 pp · Adventure, Historical

Robin Hood's tranquil autumn hunt in Sherwood Forest turns to danger when he crosses paths with the King's foresters, forcing him to flee—until he finds refuge in the cottage of an old man named Old James. Six months later, when a new lord demands impossible payment from Old James or threatens to evict him, Robin returns the favor with a bold plan that puts him directly in harm's way. This tale of friendship tested and debts repaid proves that even the outlaw of Sherwood Forest knows the value of loyalty.
