Merry Adventures of Robin Hood: Written and Illustrated by Howard Pyle

This edition of The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood contains all of Howard Pyle's original illustrations. The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood was published in 1883. For this book, renowned illustrator Howard Pyle took many of the legends of Robin Hood, some dating from the Middle Ages, and for the first time arranged these tales in a novelized form. He also created a form of English that resembles Medieval English. Pyle's version of Robin Hood has been used ever since as the model for the story in later adaptations and in filmed versions and it remains the finest version of the Robin Hood legend ever written.
