About this listen

 Imagine a serene English village, complete with a charming inn on the green. A solitary patron savors his wine while playfully flirting with the innkeepers lovely daughter. Suddenly, their peaceful moment is shattered by a local aristocrat and his two thuggish companions. The next day, these same troublemakers return to disrupt the May Day festivities. Just when all seems lost, a band of men clad in Lincoln green appears to save the day. But who are they? This unique retelling of Robin Hood transports us to the era of Henry III, diverging from the traditional tales of Richard I. Join James as he weaves a narrative rich in historical intrigue, featuring a clever yeoman battling the oppressive rule of Henry and Simon de Montfort of Leicester. At the heart of the story, we follow the tender romance between Hugh and Lucy as they navigate the challenges posed by her father, brother, and the devious schemes of her cousin, Richard.Copyright Family and Culture Social Sciences World
