The Sheriff of Nottingham Finds Robin Hood
Robin's grandfather died, then his mother and father. After twenty-five
years, Robin was lord of Gamwell and Locksley, and lived in his father's
home, Locksley House.
The village people liked Robin Fitzooth.
‘He is a good man,’ they said. ‘No man, woman or child is hungry on
Robin of Locksley's lands.’
Not all lords were so kind. The worst person was the greedy Sheriff
of Nottingham. The sheriff took everything from the villagers, and often
these poor people were very hungry. Robin listened carefully to the
stories about the sheriff. He sent food and clothes to the poorest
families.
