Description: ROBIN HOOD OF SHERWOOD FOREST - STILL HELPING THE POOR EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT ROBIN HOOD - the cheerful English outlaw of the Middle Ages who lived in Sherwood Forest and robbed the rich for the benefit of the poor. Or so they say. He may never have existed. Many cultures have similar stories and it is very likely that we see him as English because of the author of this book, Howard Pyle, a famous artist and writer of the Victorian era who more or less created the character that we know today. Pyle (1853 - 1922) published his Merry Adventures of Robin Hood in 1883 and it has never been out of print. Other versions have been written down the years and Robin has appeared in numerous movies but it was largely Howard Pyle who planted the familiar image of an expert archer in green tights and a feathered cap who looks rather like Errol Flynn or maybe Kevin Costner. THIS COPY IS ONE OF THE POPULAR Sterling Unabridged Classics series that includes many old favorites in its listings - such as the Alice adventures, Black Beauty, Huckleberry Finn's exploits, Kim's activities in the Indian jungles and the like. Collected as a set, they make an impressive display on the library shelf. This edition is a hardcover and each chapter is headed with graphics by artist Scott McKowen. The book is in very nice condition with clean and crisp pages, a firm and square hardcover binding and an intact dust-jacket that has minor creases at the rear top and bottom edges.
