I read this book awhile ago and really liked it. I got it from a library - can't remember which one - and remember it being older, maybe from the 1950s or 1960s. It's about a boy who happens to look a lot like Robin Hood did. In the story Robin has already died, but some of Robin's old friends pass the boy off as Robin and do good deeds, have adventures, things like that. There was a secret tunnel leading out of the boy's manor house. I remember, at least I'm pretty sure, that his girlfriend's name was Lady Elaine. He went to an archery contest and made friends with the man who came in second, I think he was Ethan (Evan?) the Welshman. Any help tracking down the fun book would be appreciated - thank you!

Shadows of Sherwood: The Many Legends of Robin Hood (http://home.earthlink.net/~ozfoxes/sherwood/index.htm)

A place you can search for all Robin Hood books,I tried searching through it but could not find one that matched your description.Maybe the title may stand out to you or you may remember.
Hope it helps.:)
