The Books Oracle

The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood

by Howard Pyle

Pyle's definitive retelling of the Robin Hood legend gathers the outlaw and his Merry Men through episodic adventures in Sherwood Forest, rendered in rich, archaic prose that evokes medieval romance. From Little John's first encounter on the bridge to battles with the Sheriff of Nottingham, each tale celebrates loyalty, justice, and the joyful defiance of corrupt authority. An American classic that shaped all subsequent Robin Hood mythology.
