Howard Pyle

Howard Pyle was born on March 5, 1853 in Wilmington, Delaware. From the time he was a very small boy he loved pictures, especially the pictures in storybooks. Among his favorites were Grimm’s German Fairy Tales and Arabian Nights. At the age of twenty-one, Pyle began to contribute illustrations and fables to St. Nicholas magazine and later went on to write and illustrate books for children. His first was The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood in 1883. Many more books followed, including Pepper and Salt; or, Seasoning for Young Folk, Otto of the Silver Hand, Howard Pyle’s Book of Pirates, and The Story of King Arthur and His Knights. He also taught illustration at the Drexel Institute in Philadelphia and later set up his own art school in Wilmington. He died on November 9, 1911, in Florence, Italy.

Samenvatting

“In merry England in the time of old, when good King Henry the Second ruled the land, there lived within the green glades of Sherwood Forest, near Nottingham Town, a famous outlaw whose name was Robin Hood.”

The woods in Nottinghamshire are full of thieves, chief among them Robin Hood. Stealing from the rich to give to the poor, Robin and his band of outlaws find themselves in all sorts of sticky situations. Fighting with the foresters, running away from the Sheriff of Nottingham, and bloody duels, the King of Thieves and his Merry Men bring justice to those who need it.

Published in 1883, American author Howard Pyle adapted the old English ballads of Robin Hood for a younger audience. Each chapter introduces a new member of the Merry Men, with Little John, Friar Tuck, and Will Scarlet joining the crew. The whimsical, lighthearted text popularized the characters and continues to inspire artists, filmmakers, and writers to this day.

Kobo Editions offers this fully-accessible version of the original text for your enjoyment.
