Osmund unhooked his bugle from his belt, but before he could summon up enough breath to blow it, a strange-looking man came leaping out of the wood.

“Who dare stay my hounds? Who dare interfere with my quarry?” he shouted in a fury, and ran down upon the boy, his face scarlet with passion and a great knife gleaming in his hand.

A Crusader’s son saves an outlaw hunter’s dog and finds himself a friend of Robin Hood’s band. But how can mere forest outlaws save his family from the greedy favorites of Prince John? And the wild Welsh border is all too near. . . .

Osmund’s father has gone to France again with Cœur de Lion, leaving his family at home in their manor. But when Osmund’s brother and sister are kidnapped, who can help them but their old friend Robin Hood?

“The fascination of the famous outlaw and his merry men never dies, and, as she has already shown in They Met Robin Hood, Miss Blundell, with her genius for historical fiction, is the most fitting writer to tell us more about those exciting bowmen. This new story is as excellent and enthralling as its predecessor.”—from the 1939 dust jacket.
