About the Book

The legend of Robin Hood and his band of Outlaws, thrillingly reimagined by the nation’s favourite storyteller

‘A thoroughly enjoyable, action-packed adventure’ BookTrust

Meanwhile, centuries later, more lives on than just Robin Hood’s legend. For there is a grave, with a silver arrow, and a boy destined to discover them in the woods …
