I can't think of a really famous author who has produced a version of Robin Hood (like Walter Scott for Ivanhoe & Rob Roy, or Mallory and Tennyson for Arthur.) Being English, I always thought it rather strange that our most charismatic national folk hero hadn't been handled (except in glancing reference) by Shakespeare or some other 'big name'. Robin has been well (over?) covered by popular culture. The one that influenced me was:

Who can forget:

Robin Hood, Robin Hood, riding through the glen
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, with his band of men
Feared by the bad, loved by the good;
Robin Hood, Robin Hood, Robin Hood!

He called the greatest archers to a tavern on the green,
They vowed to help the people of the king,
They handled all the trouble on the English country scene,
And still found plenty of time to sing... (repeat chorus)

(1955-1960? It must have been repeated! I'm not quite that old...)

I don't think anyone atually wrote a definitive work about him. He is a figur in popular culture who developed together with literature.

Chronicles metioned him, the maid Marian-thing came together with courteus litrature, Shakespeare wrote about him in The Two Gentlmen of VeronaScott mentions him in Ivanhoe together with King Richard (thouh he had been was aroud for much longer than the times of King Richard the Lionhearted), Keats made a ballad about him, Tennyson made a play The Foresters...

However, they are always writing about a legend and helped to define the legend themselves too. I don't know where you can find anything you are looking for apart from a first explanation on Wikipedia, and read from there...

I found this (http://hesternic.tripod.com/robinhood.htm) & Lord Raglan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Raglan_(author)) may be of interest.

The Wikipedia page is good, but may not help you much in finding the 'definitive 25 page story of Robin Hood'. A Google search is just confusing! Try amazon.co.uk and either (i) buy a book or (ii) find titles that might also be on the web. For instance, Gilbert's public domain book is still being sold and is online:
