Our knowledge of Robin Hood is largely anecdotal, handed down through poems, songs and ballads going back to at least the fourteenth century where he is mentioned in Piers the Plowman. Regardless of his real existence, a large literature has built up around the myth of Robin Hood. Joseph Ritson's greatest scholarship was on British ballads, and Robin Hood is perhaps his most exhaustive study. It includes works both minor and major and is beautifully illustrated by the celebrated wood engraver Thomas Bewick. Very rare and sought after book, a must for any serious collector of material on this figure of myth and legend. Hardback in very good condition ex library from along time ago, well looked after. Excellent condition inside, has been given a nice new stronger cover. Please see my other sales. Powered by eBay Turbo Lister Powered by eBay Turbo Lister Place a Bid!
