Along with King Arthur, Robin Hood is one of the most popular heroes of English folklore. A vast cycle of works developed around the image of the noble robber in the Middle Ages, presented here for the first time in a complete scholarly translation.

The ballads, composed over six centuries, combine elements of chivalric romance, Baroque sophistication, and folk poetry. Their themes include the confrontation between law and justice, the struggle against the greed of power, and the triumph of virtue. They bring to life Robin Hood, Marion, Little John, Friar Tuck, the Sheriff of Nottingham, and other heroes, as well as the mythical "good old England" – a symbol of freedom, honor, and the people's liberties.

The edition also includes May plays and fragments of chronicles that connect the legend with historical reality. The "Supplements" section includes classic translations of the ballads and alternative versions of the plots. The book is supplemented with illustrations by L.J. Reid, representing scenes and characters from the cycle.
