Howard Pyle’s Robin Hood, Part I

Robin Hood & the Tinker: The Sheriff of Nottingham sends out a warrant for Robin Hood’s arrest.  Local men don’t want to take it up, but a Tinker from out of town brags he will serve it.  Robin Hood is able to get him drunk and avoid a fight, but then has to fight him down the road.  The Tinker breaks Hood’s staff but the outlaw calls his men, and they make him one of their own.   The Shooting Match at Nottingham Town: The shamed Sheriff gathers his men in newly-minted armor and marches into London to ask the king to help him with the outlaw.  The king admonishes him, and he returns with the idea of a ruse: surely a shooting match will ensnare the proud Hood.  All the best shooters compete, but a mysterious stranger comes away with the prize begrudgingly bestowed upon him by a seemingly suspicious Sheriff.  RH cannot resist, however, and has a note shot into the Sheriff’s Hall letting him know he has been bested by his nemesis yet again.   Will Stutely Rescued by his Good Companions: Now a merry man in friar disguise is discovered and captured by the Sheriff’s foresters.  Robin Hood and others go to rescue him from the gallows, and in the process they thoroughly bepate the Sheriff’s men and humiliate the clever leader.  The Sheriff departs Part I silently and thoroughly, and holes up in his hamlet for days.     Ian and I summarize and discuss these fine tales of the legendary hero of the people.     Thank you for the likes!
