Other editions of book Robin Hood

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

Robin Hood is an archetypal figure in English folklore, whose story originates from medieval times, but who remains significant in popular culture where he is known for "stealing from the rich and giving to the poor" and fighting against injustice and tyranny. His band includes a "three score" group of fellow outlawed yeomen - called his "Merry Men". He has been the subject of numerous films, television series, books, comics and plays. In the earliest sources, Robin Hood is a commoner, but he would often later be portrayed as the dispossessed Earl of Huntingdon. This is a beautifully illustrated 1922 edition of this classic story.
