"After hours of painstaking research, the true story of what happened in Sherwood Forest has been uncovered: Maid Marian did all the work and Robin Hood took all the credit. Robin was actually a terrific coward. It was Marian, a born leader ever since she was her school's rounders captain, who managed to assemble a complete bunch of idiots to fight the evil ways of King John and the Sheriff of Nottingham. In the earliest legend about Maid Marian and Robin Hood...we learn how the Sheriff of Nottingham swallowed Marian's pet tadpole, Edwina. Once Marian had decided to rescue her pet from the Sheriff's murky depths, it was only natural that she should turn to Robin, a trendy go-for-it boutique owner, to design some costumes for herself and her Merry Men..." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - very light edge wear, two small soft corner creases. VG.
