About This Item
Philomel Books, 2000. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New/New. Dennis Nolan color illustrations. CONDITION: Why is this considered AS NEW? Remainder mark bottom edges. UNREAD 2000 Philomel Books hardcover (grey-blue boards with silver foil title on spine) & dust jacket (in mylar cover), first edition (Impression), first printing. Color illustrations by Dennis Nolan. CONTENT: Eight new tales delight and mystify readers with stories ranging from Robin Hood's mysterious birth, to the adventures of Hood's grandson while trying to follow in his grandfather's footsteps. Yolen wrote 2 of the tales. "Containing eight short stories (and therefore being a relatively quick read), the stories are arranged chronologically, beginning with the night Robin Hood was born, and extending two stories beyond his death, including one about grandchild of Robin Hood and another rather funny one about an artificial intelligence that is programmed to believe he is Robin Hood. My favorite was probably Straight and True, by Robert J. Harris, which is a previously unknown story about Robin Hood as narrated by Friar Tuck, but they all had something to appreciate.
