ECL #09: Merry Adventures of Robin Hood

The beloved adventures of Robin Hood come vividly to life in this wonderful illustrated version by Howard Pyle. Deep in Sherwood Forest, the legendary Robin Hood—the brave, good-humored outlaw the whole world loves—proves himself the best in England with his bow. Here are all the exciting tales of how Little John, Will Scarlet, Alan a Dale, and Friar Tuck joined his merry band of men . . . Robin Hood's breathtaking escapes from his arch enemy, the Sheriff of Nottingham . . . And one hilarious escapade after another, filled with quick action, scheming villains, and great surprises. Days of old bursting with pageantry, knights, and beautiful maidens return in a superb edition of this favorite classic story.

The Educators Classic Library is somewhat unique in that it offers annotations for kids, so that they can understand foreign words and concepts.
