Hodd
Adam Thorpe
Was Robin Hood a good guy or a bad guy? A long-hidden document casts doubt on our pre-conceptions about a medieval folk hero when the written testimony of a monk named Matthew is rescued from a ruined church on the Somme and describes life with the half-crazed, murderous bandit Hodd.
