The Ballads of Robin Hood
Cambridge; Limited Editions Club at the University Press; 1977; 206 pages
Illustrated by David Gentleman.
Loose cartoony illustrations, both in color and B&W. A collection of writings and ballads, several lesser-known ballads, such as the ballad of Robin's birth, in which Robin's father is Willie, an employee of Earl Richard, who elopes with the Earl's unnamed daughter. Another very less-known ballad is "Robin Hood's Leap", which details the relationship of the outlaw, from Chatsworth Wood, with his lady love, Kitty Ray, also called Kate. The title refers to the leap Robin makes across a river channel to both escape the Sheriff and rejoin Kate. This book also includes the Little Geste, A True Tale of Robin Hood, and also the ballad of Robin Hood's Birth, Breeding, Valour , and Marriage. This last ballad is the same as in the Perkin's book, which Robin is the nephew of Guy Gamwell, born in Locksly, and falls for Clorinda, the queen of shepherdesses.

A play in five acts, telling the tale of Robin Hood with all the wit and derring-do expected of the legend.

This play sucessfully captures the Elizabethan Bard's style, both in storytelling and dialogue. Plenty of action, romance, humor, heroes, villians, and a saucy maid or two!
