Half-hour with Robin Hood
E must go back 569 years to find the oldest datable mention of\Robin Hood, in the second edition of Piers Plowman. He is next mentioned by Andrew of Wyntoun in his Original Chronicle of Scotland, written about 1420. Of his popularity in the latter half of the 15th and. 16th centuries there are many signs, but of conjectures about him there is no end. Children, at any rate, are content to accept him as a fine fellow who dashed about in all directions, performing feats of philanthropic banditry. But none of this need worry listeners who tune in to Station 2ZB at 6.15 p.m. this Sunday, June 2, to hear a half-hour recording of Hood’s adventures, by Basil Rathbone, with a chorus and brass choir accompanying the narrative. Listeners to 1ZB will hear the feature on Sunday, June 9, at 7.0 p.m.
