ROBIN HOOD & THE MEN OF THE GREENWOOD by Henry Gilbert. Illustrated by Walter Crane.

First published in 1912, this is a facsimile editions of robin hood, for it contains sixteen superb full-colour plates by the celebrated artist, Walter Crane. This prolific designer and painter was pre-eminent as an illustrator of children's books in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and in the first decades of the twentieth; the style of his work was a formative influence on the generations of book artists that followed him. The evocative images of robin hood and his companions that illustrate the pages of this book have rarely been equalled for panache and colour. They provide the ideal complement to the charm and adventure of the tales themselves.
