ROBIN HOOD--Robin Hood is a legendary folk hero, a good-hearted outlaw who lives in England's Sherwood Forest and "robs from the rich and gives to the poor." He loves Maid Marian, leads a band known as the Merry Men (which includes Friar Tuck and the oversized Little John) and torments the evil Sheriff of Nottingham.
MAID MARIAN--is the love interest of the legendary English outlaw Robin Hood. Stemming from another, older tradition, she became associated with Robin Hood only in the 16th century
FRIAR TUCK--is one of the best-known members of Robin Hood's band, but like Maid Marian, he is not present in the earliest ballads. And both Tuck and Marian only have one major appearance in any Robin Hood ballad, although there is a passing reference in a couple of others.
LITTLE JOHN--Little John is Robin Hood's lieutenant, his second-in-command. In the early ballads, he is nearly as important as his master.
WILL SCARLET--is a welcome member of the Merry Men
