STORY DESCRIPTION
Y’know, there’s been a heap of legends and tall tales about Robin Hood. All different, too.
Well, the folks of the animal kingdom have their own version. It’s the story of what really happened in Sherwood Forest.
In this first chapter of never-told-but-completely-true stories of the world’s most famous archer, ol’ Robin Hood gets himself into a heap of trouble by breaking into mean ol’ Prince John’s castle every day for a week — but nobody can figure out what Robin’s been stealing.
And when Prince John finally finds out what’s missing...
Woooooooo boy.
