5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, just beautiful., July 13 2004
This review is from: The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood (Paperback)
It pains me to read the reviews here by people who bought this book looking for the Disney fox. This is a legend, folklore, not fairy tale. It's closer to Beowulf than Beauty and the Beast. The language is fantastic, poetry! I read it first when I was very young, fourth grade maybe, but I enjoyed it then as much as I enjoy it now. The language is an obstacle for the first two pages, maybe three, but, after you acclimatize yourself to it, it creates a unique mood and atmosphere. This book is one of my all time favorites. I laughed, I cried, I wrote a review.

5.0 out of 5 stars I hope these editions still have the original illustrations, July 12 2004
By Michael Matthews (Charlotte, NC United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood (Paperback)
I only add to the many splendidly written reviews because I am surprised none of the reviews have mentioned the illustrations. I hope these editions still contain Pyle's original woodblock styled illustrations. Howard Pyle was first and foremost a great and renowned illustrator. He chose a woodblock print style for this book as well suited to the material, and the illustrations are detailed, well researched and evocative.

The fake "medieval English" is extraordinarily well-done; it adds to the charm and period flavor while using the few archiac terms with such precision that anyone can infer their meanings, yet one would be at a loss how to replace them with modern terms. As to the thematic content of the book, much has been made of the heroic aspect, but I find just as appealing the comedic turn of the book. The epilogue is certainly heart-rending, the first writing ever to have drawn tears from my eyes (I believe I was nine), but there are many more other episodes that are truly and splendidly funny. Last, the key to Robin's success in Pyle's retelling of his exploits, as much as his skill with a bow and his wit, was that his initial reaction to any stranger or strange situation was friendliness and generousity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Robin Hood, April 27 2004
This review is from: The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood (Paperback)
Robin Hood

This book was about Robin Hood's Life. Robin Hood became an outlaw when he killed a Forester. Even though he didn't mean to kill the Forester. So he started a band of outlaws. The outlaws would steal from the rich and give to the poor. The sheriff had always said that he would kill Robin Hood. Robin Hood and his band would be in disguise and trick the sheriff.

Robin Hood is the main character he is very competitive. He is tall, blonde hair, and a blonde beard. He doesn't like to kill people, he is nice, friendly, and he can shoot an arrow really well.

The first conflict is that the sheriff won't stop trying to kill him. The second conflict is that he is an outlaw. The third conflict is that he can't go anywhere without somebody wanting to kill him.

The first conflict is solved because Robin Hood kills the sheriff. The second conflict is solved because he becomes a ranger. The third conflict is solved because he isn't an outlaw anymore.

I would recommend this book to people that like fighting books. I wouldn't recommend this book to people who do not like fighting books.
