Synopsis

Think you know everything there is to know about Robin Hood and his Merry Men? Well, think again! Before they were grown-ups battling the nasty Sheriff of Nottingham, this famous band of heroes were normal boys with normal names just like you and me. So how did they come to be called Robin Hood, Friar Tuck, Will Scarlett and Little John? Well, it's quite a story, and certainly not one for the faint-hearted!
