(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Virginia Lee Burton. A Caldecott Honor book, this collection of fifteen Robin Hood ballads is an example of superb bookmaking. Burton's pen-and-ink and scratchboard illustrations took three years to produce, and the level of detail she achieved is truly astonishing. While the number of children who will appreciate this book is small, anyone who loves the book as a physical object will need to add this amazing reissue to his or her collection.
