How it begins

In the north of England, among the giant oaks of Sherwood Forest, there was a small camp. In that camp lived Robin Hood, whose archery was talked about all over the county, and three close friends of his. All summer they baked their own bread and helped the villagers round about to dig wells and mend roofs.

These are the tale's opening lines. The whole tale is read aloud in the app.
