6C Paul Cresnick. Illustrated by N. C Wyeth. Philadelphia: David McKay, 1917. First Edition.
Notes
This definitive retelling of the Robin Hood legend by Paul Creswick traces the journey of the noble outlaw from his early days in Sherwood Forest to his eventual pardon by King Richard. The narrative follows Robin's transformation into a symbol of resistance against the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham, detailing the recruitment of his "Merry Men," including the formidable Little John and the jovial Friar Tuck. Blending historical realism with the high-adventure spirit of the original ballads, Creswick’s version explores themes of honor, social justice, and the deep-seated loyalty found within the greenwood, culminating in a poignant account of Robin's final days.
N.C. Wyeth, the most celebrated student of the legendary Howard Pyle, brought a newfound sense of muscular vitality to the Robin Hood mythos through his nine vibrant oil paintings. Part of his acclaimed series of "Illustrated Classics" for David McKay, Wyeth’s work for this volume is characterized by its dynamic use of light and rich, earthy textures that make the medieval setting feel tangible and lived-in. His paintings, such as the iconic "Meeting of Robin Hood and Little John," avoided the stiff formality of earlier illustrations, opting instead for a dramatic, cinematic quality that defined the Brandywine School style and solidified his status as the premier adventure artist of the 20th century.
