Have you ever felt like the whole world is out to get you – but everything would change if they all knew exactly what you have to offer? That's exactly how Robin Goodfellow felt at the start of this story.

Thing is, Robin was also gifted powers by the Fairy King. Once he received them, he decided it was time to teach the world a lesson – but first, the world had one more lesson for him...

Featuring a character of English folklore who even made his way into Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, this Epic Tale has plenty of fun and learning for your young learners too!
