Perhaps my favorite physical book ever. A pull from the St. Paul Public Library, I found it in our basement when I was, well, too young to remember. The pictures are beautiful and the text and speech are simply other-worldly. I love this book.

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

Disambiguation notice

This is indeed both written and illustrated by Louis Rhead. He admiringly mentions Howard Pyle's version in the Author's preface. Rhead starts his story with Robin an adolescent and portrays him more comically than Pyle does. Though both are derived from the same root sources, they are very different. Publishers have added other illustrators using Rhead's text.
