About the author
Howard Pyle
699 books328 followersHoward Pyle was an American illustrator and author, primarily of books for young people.
During 1894 he began teaching illustration at the Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry (now Drexel University), and after 1900 he founded his own school of art and illustration named the Howard Pyle School of Illustration Art. The term Brandywine School was later applied to the illustration artists and Wyeth family artists of the Brandywine region by Pitz. Some of his more famous students were N. C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, Elenore Abbott, Ethel Franklin Betts, Anna Whelan Betts, Harvey Dunn, Clyde O. DeLand, Philip R. Goodwin, Violet Oakley, Ellen Bernard Thompson Pyle, Olive Rush, Allen Tupper True, and Jessie Willcox Smith.
His 1883 classic publication The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood remains in print, and his other books, frequently with medieval European settings, include a four-volume set on King Arthur. He is also well known for his illustrations of pirates, and is credited with creating the now stereotypical modern image of pirate dress. He published an original novel, Otto of the Silver Hand, in 1888. He also illustrated historical and adventure stories for periodicals such as Harper's Weekly and St. Nicholas Magazine. His novel Men of Iron was made into a movie in 1954, The Black Shield of Falworth.
Pyle travelled to Florence, Italy to study mural painting during 1910, and died there in 1911 from a kidney infection (Bright's Disease).
His sister Katharine Pyle was also a writer and illustrator. Their mother was the children's author and translator M.C. Pyle.

No soy hombre de clásicos, pero este me mantuvo entretenido

Me encantó, aunque el final me rompió el corazón.
Esta edición íntegra me parece una muy buena recopilación y adaptación de las baladas de Robin Hood que se han escrito en distintas épocas. Como amante de la fantasía épica, me encantó ver, en este libro, cómo la novela de caballería es parte del origen de la fantasía, ya que se distinguen características que han influenciado el género por doquier, con ese toque antiguo pero atemporal de la historia de Robin Hood y su lucha por la justicia.
Mención especial al personaje de Mariana: esperaba encontrarme con el arquetipo de doncella en apuros de varias novelas del género, y para mi sorpresa no fue así: ella está dispuesta a acompañar a Robin Hood tanto en el hogar como en el campo de batalla, para el cual está bien preparada. También me encantaron los personajes secundarios de Much, Will y Jorge.
El final me dejó algo triste, aunque ya sabía qué iba a pasar. Sin embargo, creo que ese final cierra el ciclo y da un compendio de toda la leyenda de Robin Hood, que hasta hoy en día sigue cautivándonos.

Der nächste Klassiker in der #stayathome -Zeit.
Die Geschichte von Robin Hood hab ich schon mehrfach gelesen, gehört und geschaut, sei es als Serie, Film oder Zeichentrick.
Nun also diese Fassung in moderner, leichter Sprache. Toll geschriebn und das Lesen verging wie im Flug. Die Story selbst mit ihren Facetten ist ja ein absoluter (bekannter) Klassiker und jederzeit wert, gelesen zu werden.
Von mir daher 4 von 5 Sternen

Three year old approved
Enjoyed reading it to my three year old boy. He followed pretty well and enjoyed acting out the stories later.
