Books with title Illustrated Robin Hood

This is a fantastic storybook, containing two specially extended titles from the "Young Reading" series, "The Story of Robin Hood" and "Adventures of Robin Hood". Re-live Robin's daring escapades with his Merry Men, and then find out about the men who might have inspired these stories. It also contains a fascinating, illustrated introduction to life in the Middle Ages, in a separate section at the back.

This work was published as a children's book, but would really be considered young adult and above. A lot of "thees" and "thous" in the writing and some violent scenes described. This is one of the truest works of the Robin Hood legend: (NOT a happily ever after story). This is what the later cartoon versions (animated or otherwise) left out. The Illustrations by Frank Godwin are spectacular in their execution. Some of the nicest illustration work from the turn of the century that I've seen so far.PREFACEI HOW ROBIN BECAME AN OUTLAWII HOW LITTLE JOHN STOLE THE FORESTER'S DINNER, AND OF HIS MEETING WITH ROBIN HOODIII HOW ROBIN FOUGHT THE BEGGAR-SPY AND CAPTURED THE SHERIFFIV HOW ROBIN HOOD MET FATHER TUCKV HOW BY THE HELP OF ROBIN HOOD AND JACK, SON OF WILKIN, ALAN-A-DALE WAS WED TO THE LADY ALICEVI HOW ROBIN GAVE AID TO SIR HERBRANDVII HOW ROBIN HOOD RESCUED WILL STUTELEY AND DID JUSTICE ON RICHARD ILLBEAST, THE BEGGAR-SPYVIII HOW ROBIN HOOD SLEW THE SHERIFFIX KING RICHARD MEETS ROBINX THE BURNING OF EVIL HOLDXI OF THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD

For centuries, the legend of Robin Hood and his band of Merry Men—a colourful list of characters—has captivated the popular imagination.

Robin Hood is a localhero as he defends the underdog against oppression. His enemies are the rich and the corrupt, especially the Sheriff of Nottingham. But Robin Hood’s strongest allegiance is to his band of Merry Men.The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood is a beautifully illustrated book that offers young readers enough adventure and thrills to keep them turning the pages. Who can resist the flying arrows, lurking danger and medieval intrigue?

Robin Hood is a heroic outlaw in English folklore who, according to legend, was a highly skilled archer and swordsman. Traditionally depicted as being dressed in Lincoln green, he is often portrayed as "robbing from the rich and giving to the poor" alongside his band of Merry Men. Robin Hood became a popular folk figure in the late-medieval period, and continues to be widely represented in literature, films and television. Based on the Paul Creswick telling of Robin Hood, and drawing from the rich and varied lore surrounding the beloved outlaw, this spirited reworking of Robin Hood's many adventures is a vibrant introduction to Friar Tuck, Little John, Maid Marian, the Sheriff of Nottingham, and, of course, Robin Hood, the hero whose generosity and sense of justice continue to intrigue readers today as much as they did eight hundred years ago. Illustrations by N. C. Wyeth capture the vitality of this classic tale. Paul Creswick (1866-1947) is the author of numerous children’s books, most notably Robin Hood and His Adventures. His other works include In Ælfred’s Days, Under the Black Raven, Hasting the Pirate, and The Smugglers of Barnard’s Head. N.C. Wyeth (1882–1945) began his artistic career as a young adult. Born in Needham, Massachusetts, Wyeth traveled the American West extensively and drew what he saw. His prolific career includes three thousand works and more than one hundred book illustrations, including those for a majority of the Scribner Illustrated Classics series. Edition with images in black and white.

For generations, readers of all ages have delighted in the adventures of Robin Hood. The legend of the Prince of Thieves dates back as far as 1200 A.D., and versions of the story have been illustrated by some of the worlds most notable artists. The latest entry in Chronicles Classic Illustrated Edition series, this lavishly illustrated book features over 100 of the best images from the 12th to the 20th centuries, including works by N. C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle, Walter Crane, Honor C. Appleton, and Harry Theaker. This gallery of images, combined with E. Charles Vivians classic version of the tale, is an unforgettable treat.

Rob Roy (1817) is a historical novel by Walter Scott. It is narrated by Frank Osbaldistone, the son of an English merchant who travels first to the North of England, and subsequently to the Scottish Highlands, to collect a debt stolen from his father. On the way he encounters the larger-than-life title character, Rob Roy MacGregor. Though Rob Roy is not the lead character (in fact, the narrative does not move to Scotland until halfway through the book), his personality and actions are key to the novel's development. Odin’s Library Classics is dedicated to bringing the world the best of humankind’s literature from throughout the ages. Carefully selected, each work is unabridged from classic works of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, or drama.
