Some Merry Adventures of Robin Hood of Great Renown in Nottinghamshire by Howard Pyle Book PDF Summary
"It is no very easy matter for an author to condense his own work into so small a space as one-half or one-third of its original magnitude. ... I have considered it better to rearrange fragmentary portions of the original story into another form of narrative, ... I have presented only the direct adventures of Robin Hood and of certain important members of his band. I have given a couple of chapters relating to their quarrel with the Sheriff of Nottingham; I have introduced Robin Hood to the Court at London and have brought King Richard of the Lion's Heart into the Forest of Sherwood."--Preface.
