Robin Hood

(Anonymous) 2017-05-06 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Someone asked last week about the King Arthur legends, and a good source book for those, so I'd like to ask if anyone had similar recs for the Robin Hood mythos? I'll take good fiction book recs, and also I'd love if some could rec a decent text book history on the mythos, one that is easy to read for people with minimal academic background. I know so little about it, beyond the Clannad show and the Rickman version. Everyone tells me it is a very diverse mythos with lots of additions to it over the years, but I have no idea where to start. So, please help. Thanks.

Howard Pyle's Merry Adventures of Robin Hood is a great beginners version of the overall storyline. Make sure to get one that has his original illustrations, they're great. For older stuff, the Child ballads are good although if you read them in the original spelling they can be tricky to understand if you aren't familiar with old time spelling etc.
