Description

The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood of Great Renown in Nottinghamshire is a book by the American illustrator and writer Howard Pyle. Consisting of a series of episodes in the story of the English outlaw Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men, the novel compiles traditional material into a coherent narrative in a colorful, invented "old English" idiom that preserves some flavor of the ballads, and adapts it for children.  The novel is notable for taking the subject of Robin Hood, which had been increasingly popular through the 19th century, in a new direction that influenced later writers, artists, and filmmakers through the next century.
This edition has been formatted for your reader, with an active table of contents.  This work has also been annotated, with additional information about the work, the character of Robin Hood, and the author, including an overview, plot, development, significance, history of the legend, earliest references, biographical and bibliographical information.
