The Ballads of Robin are the embodiment of the British spirit, freedom and honor, not bound by the chains of the law; English freemen, expanses of green forests and sunlit lawns; the eternal "merry month of May," which is so dear to the heart of the freedom-loving resident of Foggy Albion. In addition to ballads, the volume included "games" plays dedicated to the celebration of May Day, as well as fragments of historical chronicles.
