Thanks marc This looks great, have downloaded it. It's a fascinating subject, I did a lot of research into Robin Hood for my current project. I hadnt realised that the Robin Hood story exists in many cultures. There are many Indian ones around to this day, and in China a whole genre of fiction around these type of stories (called 'Wuxia' fiction).
My project is called 'Sherwood Rise'. It's an adaptation of the Robin Hood story, set in modern day Britain. It's a transmedia story, told over 4 days, through emails, newspapers and mobile phones running augmented reality. To subscribe to the story --> http://itsthetruth.org I want to warn you first that you'll get quite a few emails (only for 4 days though!). Also I've been blogging about the background and development of the project: http://augmentedwonder.blogspot.co.uk thanks, dave On 1 May 2013 17:16, marc garrett <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I have a copy of this as book already, but if you have not got it and > are interested.
