The Nut Brown Maid — Phillip Lindsay

This novel tells the story of the young lord who to test the love a girl, pretends to be a fugivite, an outlaw, until he finds himself in the grip of Robin Hood and his crew.....

The Robin Hood we meet in these pages is by no means the philanthropic hero of popular fancy, he is no jolly singing lad more bent on skylarking than on gld, but is shown as the true outlaw of the Middle Ages, a brave, cruel outcast, simple yet cunning, urged on always by a violent hatred of society, contemptuously viewing the world through the diminishing glass of his own colossel vanity.
