The main point of Robin Hood is known by most everybody, “Take from the rich and give to the poor”, but not everyone knows the actual story. In this essay I will be telling the events of chapters 5-8 in The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle. This story is about the adventures of Robin Hood and his merry men.
