Synopsis:
Ages 7 to 9 years He robbed from the rich and gave to the poor, and had escapades enough to please any adventure-loving child. Now even the youngest readers can have the chance to enter Sherwood Forest with Robin's band of merry men, and meet such unforgettable characters as Friar Tuck, Little John, Allan-a-Dale, the nasty Sheriff of Nottingham, and wicked King John. Every moment of the story is filled with action and excitement.
About the Author: Howard Pyle was born on March 5, 1853 in Wilmington, Delaware. In 1894, he taught art at the Drexel Institute and in 1900 founded the Howard Pyle School of Illustration Art. Although he did not actually create the legends of the characters, nor have much regard for historical accuracy, he did write and illustrate stories about pirates, King Arthur and of course, “The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood.” Vincent Van Gogh was a fan of Pyle’s. Howard traveled to Italy to study mural painting in 1910 and died on November 9, 1911 in Florence of a kidney infection.
