'The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood' of Great Renown in Nottinghamshire is a novel by the American illustrator and writer Howard Pyle. For centuries, the legend of Robin Hood and his band of merry mena colorful list of charactershas fascinated our imagination. It is a story about flying arrows, lurking danger, and medieval intrigue and was the first novel Pyle attempted. He took his material from Middle Age ballads and wove them into a cohesive story, altering them for coherence and the tastes of his child audience.Pyle's book continued the 19th-century trend of depicting Robin Hood as a heroic outlaw who robs the rich to feed the poor; this portrayal contrasts with the Robin Hood of the ballads, where the protagonist is an out-and-out crook, whose crimes are motivated by personal gain rather than politics or a desire to help others. The novel was first published by Scribner in 1883 and met with immediate success.
