Robin Hood

Read The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Robert Pyle

How Robin Hood Came To Be An Outlaw – Robin Hood and Allan a Dale

1. Although he is writing in the 1800’s, Pyle attempts to maintain a Medieval style as he writes Robin Hood. Do you believe he succeeds in this attempt? Why or why not?
2. How does Robin Hood compare to the knights you have read about? 
3. Read this VERY brief description of Kings Richard and John. What affects of their reign do we see on Robin Hood and England as described in Pyle’s book?
4. Compare the cast of characters in Robin Hood to the characters in the Prologue of Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales. Are any their personalities similar? If yes, describe.
