This edition of The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood contains all of Howard Pyle's original illustrations. The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood was published in 1883. For this book, renowned illustrator Howard Pyle took many of the legends of Robin Hood, some dating from the Middle Ages, and for the first time arranged these tales in a novelized form. He also created a form of English that resembles Medieval English. Pyle's version of Robin Hood has been used ever since as the model for the story in later adaptations and in filmed versions and it remains the finest version of the Robin Hood legend ever written.

Howard Pyle was born in Wilmington, Delaware on March 5, 1853. He was an illustrator and author who is well-known for his illustrations of pirates and is credited with creating the modern stereotype of the pirate garb. In 1894 he began teaching illustration at the Drexel Institute of Art, Science and Industry, (now Drexel University), and around 1900 founded his own school, called the Howard Pyle School of Illustration Art. Some of his more famous students included N.C. Wyeth and Thorton Oakley.
