Today I was able to finish The Adventures of Robin Hood by Paul Creswick. I enjoyed reading it. While being very heavy on dialog, it was very character driven, and presented a plethora of characters, some with familiar names, others with unfamiliar. My only disappointment was that much like Roger Lancelyn Green's work on Robin Hood, this book, too, was ultimately a tragedy.
The illustrations, of course, were marvelous, being the work of N.C. Wyeth. The book also featured some ornamentation by Howard Pyle, making the whole edition a very beautiful work.
I don't know what I'll start on next.
