On The Table Read Magazine, “the best entertainment eBook magazine UK“, Robin Hood – Silvatici by Paul Glover blends historical research with a fresh perspective to challenge conventional thinking about the legendary Robin Hood.
Robin Hood – Silvatici
The name “Robin Hood” evokes images of emerald forests, daring escapes, and a righteous fight against the powerful. But who was the real man behind the legend? For centuries, scholars have grappled with this question, often concluding that Robin Hood was purely a mythical figure, a product of folklore and popular imagination.

However, in his groundbreaking new book, “Robin Hood – Silvatici,” author Paul Glover challenges conventional thinking, presenting a compelling case for a historical figure who may have inspired the enduring Robin Hood tales.
Drawing on over a decade of meticulous research, Glover presents a fascinating blend of historical evidence and fresh perspectives. He explores the potential links between the Robin Hood legend and ancient Anglo-Saxon traditions, particularly those associated with May Day festivals. This innovative approach not only offers a new candidate for the man behind the myth but also sheds light on how history itself is shaped by those in power, with the stories of the oppressed often romanticized and mythologized over time.
Glover’s “Robin Hood – Silvatici” is more than just a historical investigation; it’s a captivating exploration of the enduring power of myth and the ways in which legends reflect the hopes and anxieties of different eras. Whether you’re a history buff, a folklore enthusiast, or simply captivated by the enduring allure of Robin Hood, this book offers a fresh and thought-provoking perspective on one of the most enduring legends in English history.

What fascinates me about Robin Hood is how the folktale has endured for centuries, continuing to captivate audiences of all ages. The question of whether he was real or purely fictional has always intrigued me, and this book represents years of painstaking research into uncovering the truth. I believe myths like Robin Hood persist and inspire because they speak to universal themes—justice, resistance, and hope in the face of adversity. By re-examining the early evidence and uncovering a historical figure who may have been the man behind the famous bow and arrow, I hope to challenge readers’ perceptions and show why Robin Hood’s story still resonates so powerfully today.
