Title: The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood: Of Great Renown, in Nottinghamshire by Howard Pyle ISBN: 0-451-52284-2 Publisher: New American Library Pub. Date: May, 1991 Format: Mass Market Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $5.95 |

Summary: An exhilirating, breath-taking classic!
Comment: Pyle's book is simply THE GREATEST version of the Robin Hood legend ever written (it is no wonder it has been in print for one hundred years). The poetic Medieval english is never too difficult for readers of a young age because the dialogue is stirring, a blood-rousing call to adventure with Robin and his merry men. Pyle perfectly captures everything that makes the Robin Hood legend still compelling today, without making the battles between noble Robin and the corrupt government of early England into a treacly, heavy-handed lesson in morals (unlike many of the books his contemporaries were writing).
This book is especially fun to read aloud; it was a popular read with the kids I babysat for in high school. (Plus, what kid doesn't dream once in a while of running away and living in the forest, hunting deer with longbows, and showing off in front of the damsel of his dreams by defeating the "bad guy" in a duel of broadswords?)
Rating: 4
Summary: A terrific telling of the story, a joy to read and treasure!
Comment: My personal favorite Robin Hood tale. Pyle uses the langauge of the times in a most beautiful and authentic way that sends a thrill through any book-lover and sets the scene for the thoroughly merry and enjoyable adventures of Robin Hood and his companions.
This is no sad or tragic tale (for the most part, the epilogue is enough to draw tears)this story tells of the more lightsome side of medieval life. Full of jesters, bakers, butchers and dishonest jewelers most of which will meet with Robin in some way, either to exchange clothes and be handsomely tipped or to be dealt some of Robin's ironic view of justice.
You won't be dissapointed.

Summary: Robin Hood
Comment: Robin Hood
This book was about Robin Hood's Life. Robin Hood became an outlaw when he killed a Forester. Even though he didn't mean to kill the Forester. So he started a band of outlaws. The outlaws would steal from the rich and give to the poor. The sheriff had always said that he would kill Robin Hood. Robin Hood and his band would be in disguise and trick the sheriff.
Robin Hood is the main character he is very competitive. He is tall, blonde hair, and a blonde beard. He doesn't like to kill people, he is nice, friendly, and he can shoot an arrow really well.
The first conflict is that the sheriff won't stop trying to kill him. The second conflict is that he is an outlaw. The third conflict is that he can't go anywhere without somebody wanting to kill him.
The first conflict is solved because Robin Hood kills the sheriff. The second conflict is solved because he becomes a ranger. The third conflict is solved because he isn't an outlaw anymore.
I would recommend this book to people that like fighting books. I wouldn't recommend this book to people who do not like fighting books.
