Babes in the Wood

Stephen Duckham

The evil Sheriff of Nottingham has found out that his niece and nephew (the two Babes of the title) have inherited a fortune on the death of their father. Eager to get his hands on the money he plots their disappearance with the help of his two idiotic henchmen, Floggem and Whippem, and Nell Nightshade, the witch of Sherwood. But the Sheriff hasn’t reckoned on Robin Hood and his Merry Men. The outlaw of Sherwood Forest is all for thwarting any plans the Sheriff has for adding to his wealth and with the help of the lovely Maid Marion and the comical Babes Nurse, Jemima Jollop, they set out to right the wrongs and bring about a happy ending. Greenwillow, the goodly Sprite of Sherwood, is on hand to keep watch over the proceedings.
