The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood

The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood — Howard Pyle

Grosset & Dunlap | Illustrated Vintage Hardcover | Companion Library

A wonderfully decorative vintage edition of Howard Pyle’s classic The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood of Great Renown in Nottinghamshire, written and illustrated by Pyle and published by Grosset & Dunlap of New York.

This handsome Companion Library edition features illustrated cloth boards and spine, along with Pyle’s distinctive black-and-white illustrations throughout. The detailed artwork and medieval-inspired typography give the book considerable shelf appeal and capture the character of Pyle’s enduring interpretation of Robin Hood and his Merry Men.

The copyright page carries a 1946 copyright by Charles Scribner’s Sons; this Grosset & Dunlap issue likely dates somewhat later.

Condition: Good to Very Good vintage condition. The illustrated binding remains attractive with clear decoration and lettering. Moderate rubbing and general age wear are present, particularly around the edges and corners. Pages show expected age toning, while the interior illustrations remain crisp and striking.
