The merry adventures of robin hood: a quick read edition
Quick Read, Howard Pyle
Résumé
"The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood of Great Renown in Nottinghamshire" is a novel written by Howard Pyle in 1883. Pyle compiled traditional Robin Hood ballads into a coherent narrative, adapting the language to be suitable for children. The novel portrays Robin Hood as a heroic outlaw who robs the rich to help the poor, which was a departure from earlier portrayals of Robin Hood as a crook motivated by personal gain. Pyle's book was successful and influenced subsequent Robin Hood stories, solidifying the image of Robin Hood as a philanthropist. It also helped popularize the Robin Hood legend in the United States and elevated it to respected children's literature. Pyle's characters speak in a Middle English dialect, which has become familiar to modern audiences. Overall, "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood" is a significant work that shaped the perception of Robin Hood in literature and popular culture.
