      Robin Hood
    • Powieść amerykańskiego pisarza Howarda Pyle'a Wesołe przygody Robin Hooda jest najbardziej znaną i cenioną adaptacją literacką przygód Robin Hooda. Howard Pyle połączył liczne średniowieczne przekazy o legendarnym bohaterze angielskich podań i ballad, by scalić je w nowoczesnej powieści przygodowej, pisanej w sposób przystępny zarówno dla starszych jak i młodszych czytelników. Powstała pasjonująca opowieść o Robin Hoodzie, szlachcicu walczącym z niesprawiedliwym władcą, szeryfem z Nottingham. Skazany na banicję bohater ukrywa się wraz ze swoimi kompanami w lesie Sherwood, skąd prowadzi coś na kształt prywatnej wojny o praworządność. Robin Hood i jego barwni towarzysze, Mały John, Braciszek Tuck, Szkarłatny Willem i Allan z Doliny, nie stronią ani od bohaterskich czynów, ani od wesołej zabawy. Kiedy król Ryszard Lwie Serce wróci po długiej nieobecności do kraju, ukróci despotyczne rządy szeryfa z Nottingham i ułaskawi Robin Hooda oraz jego zastęp. Powieść Howarda Pyle'a była wielokrotnie filmowana, a sam Robin Hood stał się jedną z najpopularniejszych ikon anglosaskiej kultury masowej. Lektura dla klasy VI
