Aldine Robin Hood Library No. 4: Little John to the Rescue

1924 · 34 pages

This issue of *Tales for Little People* magazine features "Little John to the Rescue," a serialized adventure featuring Robin Hood and his men. When Ethelbert Dale arrives at the Sherwood Forest camp seeking aid—his daughter Mildred kidnapped by the Norman Baron Lachette of Derby—Robin Hood pledges assistance to the Saxon family. Robin selects fifty men through blindman's-buff to undertake the rescue, notably including the reluctant Friar Tuck. During preparations, Norman soldiers ambush the camp. Robin Hood and his foresters engage approximately one hundred Norman troops, including two knights commanding crossbowmen and cavalry. The narrative emphasizes combat tactics, with the Normans attempting to draw Robin's band into the open for a cavalry charge while the foresters use forest terrain for advantage, turning enemy crossbow fire against them through the undergrowth's interference.
