SCRIBNER’S BOOKS FOR THE YOUNG. TRE MERRY ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD. Of Great Renown in Nottinghamshire. WRITTEN AND ILLUSTRATED BY HOWARD PYLE. One volume, quarto, full embossed leather, $4.50; cloth, _- $ 3.00. 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 disposition, 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.
