The legend of Loxley lives on in these Robin Hood spin-offs, homages and send-ups.

The original philanthropist, Robin Hood remains the ultimate hero for the working classes. Gleefully thumbing his nose at the patriarchy, he addresses wealth inequality in trademark style: robbing from the rich and giving to the poor. And he does it all in tights. From Roger Lancelyn Green’s swashbuckling original to modern homages and hilarious send-ups, the legend lives on in these books.
