7. King Richard's adventures with Robin Hood. _Sources for the story teller:_ Macleod, Mary. Book of ballad stories. Includes 15 tales of Robin Hood's adventures taken from early sources. The stories are told very briefly and lack the charm of the more modern versions. McSpadden, J.W. Stories of Robin Hood and his merry outlaws. Contains 24 stories of Robin Hood and his band. Not as good as the Howard Pyle version, but the best inexpensive edition. Perkins, L.F. Robin Hood. The history and adventures of Robin Hood retold in verse, and attractively illustrated by the author. Good to give to children to acquaint them with the ballad form. Pyle, Howard. The merry adventures to Robin Hood. This is undoubtedly the best prose version of the Robin Hood ballads and the best source for the story teller. It fully expresses the out of door atmosphere and the spirit of good fellowship and adventure that is found in the original ballads. Rhead, L.J. Bold Robin Hood and his outlaw band. A retelling in prose style is good but lacks spirit and humor of Pyle versions. Tappan, E.M. Robin Hood. This collection gives 16 stories of Robin Hood's exploits. Some of the stories have been slightly altered, but the atmosphere has been kept in the main. BALLAD STORIES. 1. Kinmont Willie. 2. Black Agnace of Dunbar. 3. Patient Griselda. 4. Saddle to rags. 5. The beggar's daughter of Bednall-Green. 6. Muckle-mou'ed Meg. 7. Sir Patrick Spens. 8. Barring of the door. 9. The ballad of Chevy Chase. 10. The King of France's daughter. 11. The king and the miller. 12. The heir of Linne. _Sources for the story teller_: Greenwood, Grace. Stories from famous ballads; ed. by Caroline Burnite. A new edition of Grace Greenwood's collection of nine of the old ballads. They are told in a direct and simple way, and with a great deal of charm. Contains: Patient Griselda, The Beggar's daughter, Sir Patrick Spens. Chevy Chase, King of France's daughter, King and the miller and The heir of Linne. Grierson, E.W. Children's tales from Scottish ballads. A splendid collection of seventeen of the best known ballads retold in prose for children.
