Illustrated by
E. B. Lewis.
San Souci presents one of the well-known legends surrounding Robin Hood. The Sheriff of Nottingham devises a plan to capture Robin and his band of merry men at an archery contest; needless to say, Robin outwits him. The text is straightforward and accessible, and Lewis's watercolor illustrations do much to bring the legendary characters and their heroic deeds to life.
