Sherwood: Original Stories from the World of Robin Hood

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Dennis Nolan. Robin Hood is involved in some way in each of these eight tales, yet in only two of them is he the main character. The authors focus on some of the people who were affected by his life: the midwife who assisted at his birth; young, tomboyish Marian; some of the members of his band of outlaws; and a grandson who only knows him from the old ballads and a dream. The volume's old-fashioned illustrations and design suit the tales.
