Readers interested in the Robin Hood legend will welcome the latest addition by historian A. J. Pollard to the rapidly-growing corpus of scholarly studies. Within the last ten years a large number of books and articles have appeared, no doubt thanks to the International Association of Robin Hood Studies, which has sponsored four biennial conferences in the U.S. and in Britain since 1997.
