The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood
398 pages · First published 1883
Robin Hood gathers a band of merry outlaws in Sherwood Forest and repeatedly outwits sheriffs, churchmen, wealthy travelers, and other representatives of unjust authority. Little John, Friar Tuck, Will Scarlet, Maid Marian, and familiar figures from the legend appear across episodic adventures filled with contests, disguises, feasts, and reversals. Howard Pyle’s archaic, exuberant style helped shape the modern popular image of Robin as a cheerful champion of generosity and freedom. The book is a collection of linked adventures rather than a single tightly plotted novel, making Sherwood itself and the fellowship of the Merry Men as important as any one exploit.
