Robin of Sherwoodn this magical, spine-tingling story, the heroic tale of Robin Hood is retold. After a fierce storm, a boy of today discovers a human skull beneath the roots of an upturned oak tree - and is suddenly thrown into the ancient world of poverty and oppression. His mother dead and his father brutally blinded by the Sheriff of Nottingham, Robin joins the Outcasts, a motley bunch of misfits, beggars and albinos - feared and hated for their difference and fighting for survival in the depths of Sherwood Forest.

The Outcasts have become creatures of the forest, creatures of the dark, but among them Robin finds his own strength and courage, and his love, Maid Marion, who gives him the power to fight his oppressors.
