The Adventures of Robin Hood

This is a continuous retelling of the English outlaw cycle for younger readers, assembled from ballads, chronicles, and later prose. Green follows Robin of Locksley's conflict with the Sheriff of Nottingham and Prince John, the recruitment of Little John, Friar Tuck, Maid Marian, and the rest of the band, and the forest war of ambush, disguise, and archery. Episodes of rescue and royal return are arranged as one narrative rather than as separate songs. The book is a legend cycle in modern prose, not a historical monograph on thirteenth-century Yorkshire.

Bound in green buckram printed with a design in black and gold. Green slipcase.
