  • By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-10-16. Revised by … The exact meaning of the expression Robin Hood could bear any wind but a thaw wind, with variations such as "stand" for "bear", "anything" for "any wind", is uncertain, but I think it is testimony to the reality of the experience of wind chill. See Wikipedia: Wind chill. I know from experience that winter typically feels colder in windswept, open Denmark than in sheltered but colder areas of southern Norway. Uttering this expression would thus amount to an (implicit) assertion that a windy day with temperatures above feezing point can feel colder than a calm day with temperatures below 0C°. Collections and lists ⁃ Dobson, Richard Barrie 1976a, p. 290. ⁃ Hermentrude 1865a, lists 25 proverbs, including "Robin Hood could bear any wind but a thaw wind". Hermentrude cites an 1864 Lancashire dialect text, reprinted in Ormerod, Oliver 1901a, pp. 105-238, as his source of the majority of the proverbs. I have not …

  • Short introduction We hope that this wiki will in due course come to live up to its somewhat grand name. It is called 'International' because in addition to the vast amount of material that exists in English, we intend to add information about materials in other languages such as translations of ballads, secondary literature, children's fiction, literature on foreign analogues of Robin Hood etc. Arguably 'Bibliography' is a misnomer as the site already includes a wealth of all sorts of information one would not nor­mally expect to find in a biblio­gra­phy, but the biblio­gra­phical aspect is in all cases taken quite seriously, and there is already a wiki named the Robin Hood Wiki, so another name had to be found for the site.
