ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD.

HOWARD PYLE.

In this book, undoubtedly the most original and elaborate ever produced by an American
artist, Mr. Pyle has gathered irom the old ballads and legends, and told with pencil and pen, ihe
complete and consecutive story of Robin Hood and his merry men in their haunts in Sherwood
forest. There is something thoroughly English and home-bred in these episodes in the life of
the bold outlaw. His sunny, open-air nature, his matchless skill at archery, his generous dispo¬
sition, his love of fair play, and his ever-present courtesy to women, form a picture that has no
counterpart in the folk-lore of any other people.
