Young Robin Hood

A spirited young boy, the son of a local sheriff, finds himself clinging to a coarse saddlebag as a surly servant drags him through the muddy road toward Sherwood. His restless energy and sharp tongue set off a comic clash with the weary driver, who threatens to tie him up like a sack if he doesn’t sit still. All the while the boy’s imagination is alight with stories of the legendary Robin Hood, and he is determined to catch a glimpse of the forest’s famed outlaw.

When the convoy is halted by a band of armed men in green jerkin, the tension rises and the boy’s wish for adventure seems within reach. The encounter hints at the dangerous world beyond the village—a place of archers, hidden trails, and the promise of daring deeds. Listeners are drawn into this lively opening, where youthful curiosity meets the looming shadow of Sherwood’s legendary heroes.
