It’s a beautiful day in Trout Lake for Robin Hood and the Merry-Thems – or it should have been! Alas, the naughty Sheriff has other plans - the parks have been privatized! Now everyone, including the birds and animals, have to pay to use the park. A trip to the library to read up on their rights leads Robin and friends on a grand adventure to invade Britannia, to retrieve the keys to the city’s public amenities, and try to steal back our neighborhood from the rich and powerful.
