Légende

'The Fight Between Robin Hood and Little John', 1932. Robin '...encountered a lusty fellow who might well have caused the bravest heart to quail, for he was quite seven feet high...They chanced to meet on a long bridge that was too narrow to permit them to pass one another, and neither felt willing to make way. "Go back", ordered Robin, "I wish to cross". "Go back yourself", shouted the other...throwing aside his bow [Robin] stepped into a thicket to procure a stout oak sapling. "Now", said he, "shall we fight this matter to a conclusion, and he who falls from the bridge must admit himself vanquished". From "Robin Hood and His Life in the Merry Greenwood", by Rose Yeatman Woolf, illustrated by Howard Davie. [Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd, London, 1932]
