Summary: An exhilirating, breath-taking classic!
Review: Pyle's book is simply THE GREATEST version of the Robin Hood legend ever written (it is no wonder it has been in print for one hundred years). The poetic Medieval english is never too difficult for readers of a young age because the dialogue is stirring, a blood-rousing call to adventure with Robin and his merry men. Pyle perfectly captures everything that makes the Robin Hood legend still compelling today, without making the battles between noble Robin and the corrupt government of early England into a treacly, heavy-handed lesson in morals (unlike many of the books his contemporaries were writing). This book is especially fun to read aloud; it was a popular read with the kids I babysat for in high school. (Plus, what kid doesn't dream once in a while of running away and living in the forest, hunting deer with longbows, and showing off in front of the damsel of his dreams by defeating the "bad guy" in a duel of broadswords?)

Summary: Rolicking Adventure
Review: Pyle's Robin Hood is a lovable soul, with a child's simplicity and a man's heart. The scenes are vivid, the characters lively, and the tales timeless. It's not Crime and Punishment, but it was never meant to be. Read Pyle's introductory warning, and decide for yourself if you will join him in his wandering through Sherwood Forest.

Summary: Robin Hood
Review: Robin Hood is a wonderful story. The book is a story about a man named Robin. Robin was a woodsman with the best bow and arrow shot in the land. Robin was an outlaw to the sheriff, but a hero to the people of Sherwood Forest. Robin is a good man who steals money from the rich and means people and gives it all to the people who need it most. Throughout the story Robin faces many different conflicts. Walking through Sherwood Forest Robin bumped into very large who was known as Little John. Little John is a woodsman who is known for being very handy with a bow. Little John refused to let Robin pass, so they battled and sure enough Robin won. Little John and Robin become friends and battle the Sheriff and the nasty mean King together throughout the story. A ways into the story Robin gains more incentive to battle the king with Little John and his people. Robin wish's to win the heart of the most beautiful lady in the land, the princess. Overall I though this story taught good morals to the young. To not be greedy and give to those who need the most. This book has plenty of action in in so dont worry about trying to stay awake. It’s a real eye opener.

Summary: Robin Hood
Review: Robin Hood This book was about Robin Hood's Life. Robin Hood became an outlaw when he killed a Forester. Even though he didn't mean to kill the Forester. So he started a band of outlaws. The outlaws would steal from the rich and give to the poor. The sheriff had always said that he would kill Robin Hood. Robin Hood and his band would be in disguise and trick the sheriff. Robin Hood is the main character he is very competitive. He is tall, blonde hair, and a blonde beard. He doesn't like to kill people, he is nice, friendly, and he can shoot an arrow really well. The first conflict is that the sheriff won't stop trying to kill him. The second conflict is that he is an outlaw. The third conflict is that he can't go anywhere without somebody wanting to kill him. The first conflict is solved because Robin Hood kills the sheriff. The second conflict is solved because he becomes a ranger. The third conflict is solved because he isn't an outlaw anymore. I would recommend this book to people that like fighting books. I wouldn't recommend this book to people who do not like fighting books.

Summary: Will you come with me, sweet reader? I thank you.
Review: Santa Claus left the Educator Classic Library version of Howard Pyle's classic under the Christmas tree when I was all of eight years old. That beloved volume has been around the world with me, and I still pull it off the shelf and read it at least once a year -- which makes at least 28 readings to date -- and it never grows stale. Pyle's use of archaic language somehow makes the tone more intimate, as if you are really there with him, wryly observing the comings and goings of a strangely innocent if somewhat brawl-happy breed of men. Tom Sawyer would have thrived in Pyle's Sherwood. Charming, lilting, engaging, he makes his characters come alive, and creates a tale adults and children will cherish together -- my young children and my agemate friends laugh aloud with me at yet another retelling of Little John's adventures as a barefoot friar. I drew tears from a college oral interpretation class with Robin's death scene. I fell in love with Robin and his men as a child, and was drawn from that to study history and linguistics. Find an annotated version, tuck up your skirts, and trudge along.

Summary: Pyle's book is a delightful, definitive tale of Robin Hood.
Review: Seldom does one come across such a fresh, delightful storyteller as is Pyle. His use of language archaic even in his day brings a sense that perhaps Will Scathlock himself, "as full of tales as an egg is of meat," sits at your shoulder reeling off his master's merry adventures. In these days of complicated plots and subplots, of heros beset as much by thier own angst as foes, this book shines as a gem of uncomplicated reading pleasure for all ages. Though some may feel the language too dense for younger readers, I would highly recommend Pyle to any parent. True, he/she may have to put up with a few "I wot's" and "Marry, methinks," but this seems to me harmless enough, and though there is violence, there is also consequence and remorse. Finally, unlike some books for young reader, this book will probably find itself in the parent's hands as well

Summary: The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood.
Review: The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle is about some of children's favorite character in green, Robin Hood himself! In the begining of the book Robin shoots the evil kings deer(but not on purpose), and he also kills the sheriff's son because the man shot at him first. Then, the book goes on and they all try to catch him and it goes on and on and on the at the end Robin dies so it is not very good. I don't reccomend this book to many people because it has a lot of hard words and they talk weird. That is my review of The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood.

Summary: The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood: A Review
Review: The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood was a pretty good book. I thought it was very intriguing book with a good bit of action. Howard Pyle shows alot of the great adventures of Robin Hood and his merry band. He inlcudes them all, strong and courageous Little John, brave Will Scarlet, musical Allan a Dale, and sly as a fox, good ol' Friar Tuck. Howard Pyle includes all of the great adventures like the time when Robin Hood ran into Little John at the river. They ended up having a fight to see who could knock the other into the river first. They had to fight on a log that was spread across the river. He also includes Robin Hood winning the golden arrow in Nottingham's archery contest. The time after time that Robin Hood and his men out-smarted the sheriff and his men and the time after time that Robin Hood and his men manipulated those rich people into giving them money and the times that they stole it. I would recommend this book to anyone who first off loves to read, or whoever loves to read about Robin Hood and his Merry Men and anyone who likes action and adventure.
