Mr Robin Hood says, "Sign Up or Else!!!......... " HIGHLY STRUNG!!!! A newsletter (shortly to become an "e-zine"!) Covering all aspects of the Robin Hood legend, from history to media. Free, illustrated and currently hardcopy, an electronic version is in the planning, to be available soon. I need subscribers, ideas and contributions.Write a film review, or pick an episode from a TV show and write about it.Tell us who your favourite screen Robin Hood is and why? If you have a pet theory as to who the real Robin Hood was, then let me have your ideas. Anyone good at cartoons or poetry? - I'd love to hear from you. Pick your favourite actor or actress out of any of the characters in a Robin Hood movie or tv series and write a profile about them - not necessarily confined to just the character of Robin Hood. The newsletter supports two charities - the World Wide Fund for Nature, by raising money in a sponsored walk, and SPANA (the Society for the Protection of Animals Abroad) by collecting used stamps. "Highly Strung!!" also has its first Honorary Member - Mr Richard Ashton, an English actor, who plays Little John in the Channel 5 series "The New Adventures of Robin Hood". I've been a secret Robin Hood fan for many years, and would like to share my interest with others. I enjoy the legend in all its forms - books, ballads, movies & tv shows. And the aim is to reflect all of this in the e-zine/newsletter. An extensive sources of information is included in the form of a bibliography and websites. I hope very soon to have a couple more Honorary Members, plus some interviews, and I plan a picture gallery, and special features on two great tv series, "The New Adventures of Robin Hood" & "Robin of Sherwood". My favourite screen Robin Hood's include the 1973 Disney cartoon, Errol Flynn, Michael Praed ("Robin of Sherwood"), Cary Elwes ("Robin Hood: Men in Tights"), Matthew Porretta & John Bradley ("The New Adventures of Robin Hood"), and Patrick Bergin ("Robin Hood" movie, 1991). Please e-mail me, if you are at all interested on heracles54@msn.com. I'd love to hear from you. Caroline Griffin Editor/Publisher
