Now even the youngest readers can have the chance to enter Sherwood Forest with Robin's band of merry men, and meet such unforgettable characters as Friar Tuck, Little John, Allan-a-Dale, the nasty Sheriff of Nottingham, and wicked King John. Every moment of the story is filled with action and excitement.
Howard Pyle
Howard Pyle (1853-1911) was a celebrated artist, author, and teacher -- and a primary figure in the history of children's literature. Not only did he guide and inspire such artistic talents as N. C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, and Jessie Willcox Smith, but he was also a master storyteller in his own right. The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, Pepper & Salt, and The Wonder Clock are among the many stories and folktales that he wrote and illustrated.

Reviews for The Adventures of Robin Hood
23 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Although I don't know if there's an official collection of the Robin Hood stories, I liked these stories very much.
As always, narrator Rebecca K. Reynolds is an excellent teller of tales. Appropriately, she begins her reading with a somber tone, foreshadowing Robin’s slaying of a deer and his self-defense killing of an enemy. This serious mood continues through many of the tales because they often feature a more somber atmosphere than much of the Oasis audio children’s collection.
This collection might be more interesting and more appropriate for older or more mature children than those who enjoy their simpler ones.
