But these old poems and ballads reveal a rougher figure: a devout, quick-tempered yeoman. Compiled by Joseph Ritson, this collection brings you close to the verses in which the famous outlaw’s story first takes shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Gest of Robyn Hode anchors the collection with a long narrative woven from older tales. Shorter ballads bring encounters with strong strangers, comic brawls, disguises, rescues, and revenge. Alongside them, Ritson’s introduction, life of Robin Hood, and notes explore the legend with a scholar’s insistence on accuracy rather than guesswork.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eInside this book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe legend’s long spine\u003c\/strong\u003e – Follow A Gest of Robyn Hode through linked tales of the outlaw’s world.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrangers on the road\u003c\/strong\u003e – Meet the strong strangers who challenge Robin in the shorter ballads.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMore than comic brawls\u003c\/strong\u003e – Discover darker tales where disguise, rescue, trickery, and revenge bring danger close.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA scholar tests tradition\u003c\/strong\u003e – Explore Ritson’s notes and biography, where careful comparison matters more than guesswork.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoetry with a pulse\u003c\/strong\u003e – Read the short stanzas aloud and feel their steady beat and returning phrases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers who love folklore, old English poetry, and the roots of a famous legend rather than one smooth adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen the first page now and meet Robin Hood in the old ballads that shape his legend.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Library of Alexandria Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59534586052956,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/03467_en_ebook-front_c04.jpg?v=1792174923","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/fr\/products\/robin-des-bois","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
