Stories of Robin Hood
Bertha E. Bush wrote this short retelling of the Robin Hood legend in 1912 for the Instructor Literature Series, a set of inexpensive booklets for American schoolchildren. It begins with young Robin hearing of the cruelties of the Norman lords toward the Saxon poor, and follows him into Sherwood Forest through the familiar episodes: winning the sheriff's golden arrow, the meeting that brings Little John into the band, the adventures with Allen-a-Dale and Friar Tuck, the rescue of the sorrowful knight, the encounter with the king, and the outlaw's death. The prose is simple and lively, written to be read aloud in class or by a child alone. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
