The Adventures Of Robin Hood & His Merry Outlaws
The Adventures Of Robin Hood & His Merry Outlaws by Joseph Walker McSpadden
A retelling that sticks pretty faithfully to the ballads. There's a bit in the beginning about Robin's childhood, and how his father Hugh Fitzooth had probably been defrauded of his title by the man now the Earl of Huntingdon, who is Marian's father, but it gets briskly to the outlawry.
Less forsoothly than Pyle, but not as well constructed.
