Robin Hood: Vol. 2

In Robin Hood, Joseph Ritson sought to create the definitive collection of all material relating to the original English outlaw. The Robin Hood folklore dates back to the 12th century, so a great number of derivative works have been excluded. These two volumes place great emphasis on the Robin Hood ballads, which are as near to original source material as possible. In this second edition, historical annotations have been included alongside the original wood engravings. Mythology and English scholars alike should find practical use, and enjoyment, of these two works.
