                              Robin Hood Booklist

   This is a reading list involving the Robin Hood legend.

   Copies of this FAQ may be obtained by anonymous ftp to rtfm.mit.edu
   under pub/usenet/news.answers/books/robin-hood. Or, send email to
   [e-mail] with
   send pub/usenet/news.answers/books/robin-hood in the body of the
   message, leaving the subject line empty.

   My criterion for these books is that it be concerned with the Robin
   Hood legend in some way. I have three basic categories: fiction,
   poetry, and non-fiction. There are a good number of research and
   old-manuscript references listed here that are probably unavailable
   except through a University-level library. I have split the books up
   into the following categories:
     * [1]Medieval Fiction: often published at any point in time, but
       discussing texts from this period. I've arbitrarily put everything
       pre 1600 in this section, although I realize this isn't the
       "medieval" period.
     * [2]Early Fiction (1600-1899): involves any fiction published
       during this time. If I have an 18th century commentary on a 15th
       century work, that goes here. (If it's a 18th century
       republication of something from prior to 1600, let me know and I
       will move it to the above category.)
     * [3]Modern Fiction (1900-present): includes all fictionalized
       accounts published in this century.
     * [4]Poetry: includes all poetic versions of the Robin Hood legend,
       regardless of when (first) published or written.
     * [5]Non-Fiction and Research: includes analyses of the Robin Hood
       legend: how it started, what purpose it filled, original texts,
       etc. Some of the texts that republish old work but include an
       analysis may have been mistakenly filed in one of the fiction
       categories above; let me know if this is the case.

   I encourage you to send in any comments you have on a particular book
   for inclusion. I'd like to be able to give a sense of what the book
   offers. In addition, if you have references to books on Robin Hood
   that are *not* listed here, please send them to me for inclusion.

   Disclaimer: I have not vouched for the accuracy of each and every
   entry in this list. I would like also to indicate which books are no
   longer in print. If you find mistakes or have additional information
   on a reference, by all means, let me know. It might take me a while,
   but it _will_ get put in ;-).

   Thanks to: Ann Carlson, Dean Clamons, Matthew Clark, Aaron C. Clarke,
   George T. Crafts, Dan'l Danehy-Oakes, Roger Gardiner, George M.
   Jacobs, Michael Kelly, Larry Hammer, Tovah Hollander, Jane Lean,

Modern Fiction

   _(1900-present)_

   ?, Robin of Sherwood Annual. World International Publishing.
   Manchester, 1986. ISBN 0-7235-6758-1. A children's book on Robin of
   Sherwood. Out of print.

   Bowman, Anne, _The boy foresters : a tale of the days of Robin Hood_

   Waryn_. (Boydell & Brewer Ltd PO Box 9 Woodbridge Suffolk IP12 3DF).

   Carpenter, Richard, _Robin of Sherwood_, (Puffin Books. 1984. ISBN
   0-14-031690-6); Carpenter, Richard and Robin May, _Robin of Sherwood
   and the Hounds of Lucifer_, (Puffin Books. 1985. ISBN 0-14-031869-0);
   Carpenter, Richard and Anthony Horowitz, _Robin of Sherwood: The
   Hooded Man_, (Puffin Books. 1986. ISBN 0-14-032058-X); Carpenter,
   Richard, _Robin of Sherwood: The Time of the Wolf_, (Puffin Books.
   1988. ISBN 0-14-032660-X). _Out of print_. These four books are also
   collected in one volume, the omnibus: Carpenter, Richard, with Robin
   May and Anthony Horowitz, _The Complete Adventures of Robin of
   Sherwood_, (Puffin Books. 1990. ISBN 0-14-034450-0). The books to the
   marvellous Robin of Sherwood TV series. 'A magical retelling of the
   legend of Robin Hood'. Well written, great characters, gives a good
   impression of what it must have been like in mediaeval times, the
   mysticism and sorcery fits in, great sense of humour.

   Chase, Nicholas. _Locksley_. St. Martins/Marek, New York. 1983. ISBN
   0-312-49428-9. A highly improbable and highly entertaining retelling
   of the legend as it "might have actually happened." Good reading. Of
   interest is to note that 'Nicholas Chase' is a nom de plume for the
   brothers Hyde; Anthony (The Red Fox, China Lake, Formosa Straights)
   and Christopher (Maxwell's Train, Whisperland, Hard Target and many
   others). The opening for the Costner/Robin Hood film appears to have
   been inspired by this novel, as well.

   Creswick, Paul. N.C. Wyeth, illustrator. _Robin Hood_. Charles
   Scribner's Sons, New York. Reprint. Original copyright 1917, Wyeth,
   1957. 1984. ISBN 0-684-18162-2. The illustrations alone make this book
   worth getting. A nicely told version of the Robin Hood legend.

   Doherty, P. C. _The Assassin in the Greenwood_ (1993?), is a telling
   of the death of Robin Hood, and how an "under-sheriff" of Nottingham
   masqueraded as Robin to discredit him. The book is interesting in that
   it has a brief afterword by the author. In it, he claims that Robin
   was not a contemporary of Richard I (and John), but of Edward I. He
   suggests that Robin was a supporter of Simon de Montfort's revolt
   against the king in the mid-13th century and fled to Sherwood forest
   after the revolt failed. The plot is not that great, but the setting
   is well-rendered (including the tendency to violence that was said to
   be common in those days).

   Emery, Clayton, _Tales of Robin Hood_ (New York : Baen Pub
   Enterprises; distributed by Simon & Schuster, 1988).

   Finnemore, John, _The story of Robin Hood and his merry men_ (London,

   Gilbert, Henry, Robin Hood. Wordsworth Classics. Herfordshire, 1994.
   ISBN 1-85326-127-0. The book itself dates from 1912 and it shows in
   the language. It is a fairly complete Robin Hood story. It has two of
   the Little People as Robin's closest friends.

   Goldberg, Moses, _The outlaw Robin Hood_ (New Orleans : Anchorage
   Press, c1980).

   Goldman, James, _Robin and Marian_ (New York, Bantam Books, 1976). The
   major portion of this book is Goldman's original screenplay for the
   movie , which starred Audrey Hepburn (Maid Marian), Sean Connery
   (Robin Hood), Robert Shaw (Sheriff of Nottingham), Nicol Williamson
   (Little John), and Richard Harris (King Richard). Also included in the
   volume are 3 short essays. 'Where Have All the Heroes Gone?' laments
   the lack of heroes with High Principles and Noble Dreams, muses on
   heroes grown old--Ulysses, Ben Hogan, Fritz Kreisler--and sets up his
   premises/questions: What happened to Robin and Marian after they had
   grown old? (not doddering, but fifty-something), and Why do some of
   the versions of the myth have Marian killing Robin?. 'What All the
   Singing Was About' gives some historical background on the Robin Hood
   myth and why it has survived some 700 years and still has the power to
   move us. 'Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Screenplays and
   Were Afraid to Ask" is his insider's view of writing the screenplay,
   selling it, and making the movie.

   Godwin, Parke. _Sherwood_. Avon Books, New York. 1992. ISBN
   0-380-70995-3. _Robin and the King_, 1993, Avon Books, NY ISBN
   0-380-70996-1. Excellent, well thought out story. Placed during the
   Norman invasion of 1066. Unusual depth of characterization, you get a
   real feel for what the clash between the Saxons and Normans must have
   been like. Second book is set in both France, to where Robin has been
   exiled but still serves the King, and England.

   Green, Roger Lancelyn, _Robin Hood_, (Penguin Books. 1982). A kind of
   compilation of various other Robin Hood books (quotations preceed
   every chapter).

   Green, Simon, _Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves_, (Fantail books. 1991.
   ISBN 0-14-090340-2). The novelization of the Kevin Costner Robin Hood
   movie.

   Greenberg, Martin H., ed., _The fantastic adventures of Robin Hood_
   (New York, N.Y., U.S.A. : Penguin, 1991). A collection of thirteen
   short stories by fantasy and speculative writers offering alternative
   glimpses of the life and legend of Robin Hood and his merry men. It's
   quite funny at times.

   Harvey, George Cockburn, ed. and Edwin John Prittie, illus. _Robin
   Hood_. (Chicago: John C. Winston Co., 1923.) Black and White
   illustrations, with several color ones. All done by Prittie. Large
   print edition, so I assume for children. Some unfamiliar words are
   noted with asterisk and defined at bottom of page. Example:
   hinds=laborers. Book includes an Appendix with info about the real
   Robin Hood. This info is in the form of a "quotation from the
   abridgment of Ritson's Life of Robin Hoo, as given by Gutch" (345).
   Also in the Appendix is the ballad "Robin Hood and Allin'A' Dale."

   Hayes, Sarah, _Robin Hood_ (Illustrated by Patrick Benson, 1st
   American ed. New York : Henry Holt, 1989).

   Heal, Edith, _Robin Hood_. Introduction by Philip Allen, illustrated
   by Dan Content. Rand McNally & Co. Windermere Series, copyright 1928,
   multiple eidtions printed. This book runs 626 pages and is remarkable
   in its emphasis on Robin as a very pious and religious man, in fact a
   "monk," who refuses Maid Marian.

   and the dragon, Robin Hood, Richard and Blondel, and other legends_
   (Illustrated by Helen Stratton, London: Blackie and Son, 1908).

   rev. 1989).

   Kluger, Richard, _The Sherrif of Nottingham_ (N.Y.: Viking, 1992, ISBN
   0-670-84022-X). A new fictional work which sets the story at the time
   of King John, but focuses on the much maligned sheriff of Nottingham.
   Kluger has historical notes identifying a historical sheriff of the
   period, Philip Mark, and recreates him as a rather sympathetic, if
   plodding, character.

   Knight, Stephen and Thomas Ohlgren, eds., _Robin Hood and Other Outlaw
   Tales_, Kalamazoo, Michigan: Medieval Institute Publications, 1996.
   The 600-page anthology is now in production and will be published in
   Fall 1996. It contains a full range of literary texts including the
   ballads, plays, and analogues in Old French and Anglo-Norman. All of
   the English works have been re-edited from original materials,
   including a new text of "Gamelyn" and two new ballads recently
   discovered in the British Library.

   Books, 1968).

   McKinley, Robin, _The Outlaws of Sherwood_ (1st ed. New York :

   Betty and Joe with the gypsies. Robin Hood is a peripheral character.

   Rhead, L. J. (Louis J.), _Bold Robin Hood and his outlaw band_ (New
   York, London, Harper & Brothers, 1912).

   Roberson, Jennifer, _Lady of the Forest_ (1992). The lady is Marian,
   the forest is Sherwood, and Robin is Robert, the son and heir of the
   Earl of Huntingdon. Roberson wrote the book using all the characters
   for viewpoint (Sheriff, Earl, Robert, Will Scarlet, Marian, etc.)
   which while slowing it down in some ways, provided all sorts of
   different perspectives on the action, since *everyone's* version is
   present. This is set in the times of the Crusades and historical
   details are handled pretty well.

   Sutcliff, Rosemary, _The Chronicles of Robin Hood_. (Oxford University
   Press. 1953). Goes as a children's book, but worthwhile reading for an
   adult too. A very nice retelling of the Robin Hood legend.

   Miriam Nerlove, 1st ed. New York : Harper & Row, c1986). Juvenile.

   Trease, Geoffrey. _Bows against the Barons_, (Leicester: Brockhampton
   1966 (c1934)). Because he was close to university and had very
   left-wing leanings (as so many English university types had at that
   time) this is a very "socialist" Robin Hood tale.

   Whitby, Sharon, _The Last of the Greenwood_. (New York, Pyramid
   Publications, HBJ. 1975). Romance/Adventure retelling of the Robin
   Hood legend, concentrating on Robin's relationships with Marion.
   Enjoyable story.

   White, T.H., _The Once and Future King_. Includes a longish diversion
   in which Wart and Kay meet one "Robin 'ood," though it's explained
   that "'ood" is not short for "Hood," but "yer know, 'ood -- like this
   'ood we're standin' in."

   Miles, Bernard, Robin Hood, his life and legend (Illustrated by Victor
   G. Ambrus, Chicago : Rand McNally, 1979). Victor G. Ambrus is an
   excellent illustrator. His arms and armour are not always absolutely
   right, but are usually pretty good; his heraldry is not always clearly
   understood, but then heraldry for the Robin Hood stories is even more
   hypothetical than that of the Arthurian tales. His horses are
   wonderful. The book is worth having just for the pictures, quite apart
   from Lord Myles' rather thoughtful commentary.

   Pringle, Patrick, Stand and Deliver: Highwaymen from Robin Hood to

   1-55634-215-2. Although meant in the first place as a manual for
   playing a Robin Hood role playing campaign using the GURPS (Generic
   Universal RolePlaying System) system, it contains lots of useful
   background information on the Robin Hood legend.
