Flashback Friday: The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle

Share it Please
Genre: Fiction/Classic/Adventure

Review: Let me start by sharing that when I am asked "What is your favorite book?" This book is always my answer. I have read this one over and over and over again. I had watched the BBC Robin Hood Television show and wanted to learn more about what really happened. So, I found this book at the library and fell in love with Howard Pyle's novel. If you go into this book expecting the Hollywood stories, well, you'll be a bit surprised. I won't say disappointed because I LOVED it! It is just extremely different. It's a bunch of short stories of Robin's and his men's adventures. There isn't a single plot that flows through the whole story but many.
I loved Robin's personality in this. He's so carefree and laughs all the time. Only a few of the Hollywood Robins came close to portraying his fun-loving personality correctly. This is an awesome book and I recommend it to everyone. :)

Author:He was born on March 05, 1853 in Wilmington, Delaware and died on November 09, 1911. For more information click here.
