PYLE, HOWARD.
The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood.
Illustrated by the Author.
Scribner. 3.00

Henry II and Queen Eleanor, the Lord Bishop of Hereford, the (p. 127)
Sheriff of Nottingham, and Richard of the Lion's Heart, come forth
from the land of mingled fact and fancy, with Robin Hood and his merry
train, and live for us. While the text of this luxurious volume is

some may gather from this story that there is a vast storehouse
of humour and wisdom awaiting them in the book
itself.--_Preface._

How the Old Horse Won the Bet, and The Broomstick Train, are the other
poems.

"You see, of course, if you're not a dunce,
How it went to pieces all at once--
All at once, and nothing first--
Just as bubbles do when they burst."

Do we not most of us belong to the group "who at present know nothing
or next to nothing of what is certainly one of the masterpieces of
English literature"?
