Don't laugh, it happened to me about 10 years ago ) Would you be able to describe EXACTLY how he looked, his clothes, hairstyle, beard? I don't think so - instead, you'd put together a sort of identikit picture of all the different Robin Hoods you've seen throughout your life. Imagine that you dreamt of Robin Hood last night. We tried to create a world that would be sort of a synthesis of all the different variations on the story, without getting hung up on the details of each one.
