Crispin in the Hood

Crispin The Dull Sherwood Forest: the Hood

Crispin the Dull lives in Sherwood Forest as part of Robin Hood’s band of Merry Men.

Things haven't been very “merry” in the forest, since Prince John’s guards have set themselves up as outlaws in Sherwood and taken Crispin’s rubber ducky.

At a big meeting at the castle to try and resolve the problems, Maid Marion offers a suggestion to rename the outlaw band “Robin And Marion’s Band Of Ordinary Persons” as a way of increasing outlaw morale since many members of the band are not actually “men”.

In the interview, Neil Murray, the actor who plays Robin Hood tells this anecdote about young Crispin:

“One little boy would come every year dressed as Robin Hood and follow me around,” said Murray. “We called him ‘mini me!’ Now he′s in high school and plays one of the outlaws.”
