VILLAIN OR TRAGIC HERO, who was Robin Hood truly? What are the origins of Friar Tuck, of Little John, of Will Scarlet and all the rest of the Merry Men? What are their secrets, their fears, their glories? How did Robin Hood live and die? All of these questions and more are answered in LEGENDS OF ROBIN HOOD ~ BOOK 2: THE MERRY ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, the unforgettable classic written and illustrated by Howard Pyle. Pyle’s book is the one that set the imaginations of America afire, and spread interest in Robin Hood far from England and into the hearts of American children. His prose and drawings are amazingly vivid, and many of the original ballads and poems pertaining to the Robin Hood legend are included.

Returning some of the most beautiful and heartfelt adventure classics to their rightful place at the forefront of illustrated storytelling, the goal of the LEGENDS OF ROBIN HOOD series is to create the finest electronic versions of the great outlaw epics which were published in the wake of IVANHOE, during the 1800s and early 1900s. Originally unveiled in times of corruption and hardship, these are the books that forever shifted the image of Robin Hood from that of villain to romantic hero, honoring the man who dared to defy injustice and tyranny, the one man who risked everything to better the lives of the downtrodden. Not only are these classic works beautifully written, they are also lavishly illustrated ... and they all hearken back to a golden age of storytelling. Please do enjoy the series, for much more is to come!
