Robin Hood Chess Set Inspiration
|
daring adventurer in green was rescuing a poacher from cruel foresters. Maybe Robin was ambushing the evil
Sheriff of Nottingham or sword fighting with Sir Guy of Gisborne. Maybe it was the tales of Robin's charity -- robbing
the rich to give to the poor. There's a lot to like about this legend.
Riding through King John's royal forest of Sherwood on a glorious May morning, you don't have a care in the world.
Then you hear a bird call, the faint rustling of trees, and suddenly a man armed with a longbow appears in your
path.
He wears a feathered cap, or is that a hood? You can't see the man's face clearly, but you don't have to. He is
dressed in Lincoln green, the color of Robin Hood -- the most famous English outlaw of all time.
Don't worry, he won't harm you -- not yet, anyway. He'll invite you to join him and his outlaw band for a feast. The
meal of choice? Venison -- freshly-killed deer. The law states that only King John is allowed to hunt in Sherwood
Forest, but don't you worry about the law, Robin Hood never did.
The intricate detail of these hand-painted, polystone, chess pieces is nothing short of outstanding! This brand
new chess set comes complete with 32 chessmen (a chessboard is optional*). This chess set is as ideal for
display as it is for fiercely competitive play and will undoubtedly be cherished by you and your family for years to
come.
You would be hard-pressed to find a better way to introduce your kids or grand kids to the game of chess as well
as the colorful legend of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men. You'd be equally hard-pressed to find a better
value for hand-painted chess pieces of this beauty, size and quality.
The Robin Hood theme chess set is the perfect gift for the collector as well as the non-collector, the serious
player and the not-so-serious player, the young and the old. Or, buy one for yourself and proudly display it in your
home, office, or bed & breakfast. Buy today. We guarantee you won't be disappointed.
