Today I finally finished The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle. I've elucidated on this particular edition of said text before, so won't rehash it here.
It was a good read, and very entertaining. It carries much of the same authenticity of the Roger Lancelyn Green version, though it lacks some of the depth, complexity, and character development of the Paul Creswick version. It again struck me as having a similar feel to the legends of King Arthur, but I suppose we all long for noble heroic leaders such as Robin Hood and King Arthur.
Mood: Thoughtful
Music: Van Morrison: "Moondance"
