Maid Marian and Robin Hood.
By J. E. Muddock.
12mo. Cloth, $1.25. With twelve full-page illustrations by Stanley L. Wood.
“The personal courage, skill in archery, boldness of enterprise, and generous disposition of this famous outlaw of the twelfth century, have made him a favorite hero, especially with young people, through all the centuries. Robin Hood was a Saxon of noble descent, and was unjustly outlawed through the hatred of the Norman conquerors, after having been condemned to death and made his escape from the dungeon in which he was confined. He gathered around him in Sherwood Forest a band of more than a hundred men as bold as himself, and for many years baffled all attempts to capture him. He robbed the rich and gave to the poor, and suffered no woman to be oppressed, or otherwise molested. Friar Tuck, Little John, Will Scarlet, and others of the leaders of the merry men, figure in Mr. Muddock’s romance, and many of their daring deeds and exciting adventures are recounted. But the main interest centres around Robin Hood and the beautiful and brave Maid Marian.”—Boston Home Journal.
