Robin Hood by N.C. Wyeth

Robin Hood and His Adventures

by Paul Creswick

Illustrations by N.C. Wyeth

[1903]


This is Paul Creswick's able retelling of the Robin Hood myth. The Robin Hood narrative first surfaced as a short mention in Piers Plowman, and accreted details through folk-tales, ballad, literature, and of course, cinema. Like other English literary productions such as King Arthur or Sherlock Holmes, the fact that Robin Hood is a fiction is almost irrelevant; people want to believe that he was an actual historical personage. Creswick's version of this tale brings it to life, and the luminous Wyeth illustrations complete the picture.
