A 1946 Caldecott Honor Book  Anne Malcolmson, Grace Castagnetta, and Caldecott medalist Virginia Lee Burton joined forces in 1947 to produce the definitive edition of The Song of Robin Hood. Their triumphant achievement was one of the most distinctive presentations of the legend ever published, and it received a Caldecott Honor Medal in 1948. Through meticulous research and unfailing perseverance, Anne Malcolmson rediscovered fifteen of the original ballads of Robin Hood; Grace Castagnetta adapted them to modern musical notation. Virginia Lee Burton spent three years on drawings to accompany the songs, ultimately producing a work of art filled with exquisite detail and worthy of comparison to the greatest illuminated manuscripts of the medieval era. The text, the music, and the illustrations combine to form a harmonious and timeless work of art. There is no better way to introduce young readers to the legend of Robin Hood, or to renew a love of the tale in the hearts of those who already know the classic story. Lovingly revived and beautifully reissued, The Song of Robin Hood stands as one of the truly stunning books of our time.… (plus d'informations)

Remarkable research has been done in the creation of this book. The ballads add much to the verse and story. ( )

Dear Reader Who Comes To This Book Having Been Exposed Only to Pop Accounts of Robin Hood:

Let's be clear: The stories of Robin Hood are folktales, but they are not nursery tales. The three oldest known stories of Robin Hood -- "The Gest of Robyn Hode," "Robin Hood and the Monk," and "Robin Hood and the Potter" -- are metrical romances, probably designed to be sung, and are aimed squarely at adults. The "Gest" and the "Monk" both involve multiple deaths, and in the "Monk" at least one death is pure and simple murder.

So we shouldn't expect Robin Hood tales to be pretty. But we should expect them to be musical.

Unfortunately, very few of the tunes of the Robin Hood ballads survive. The fact that the best versions are old means that they were taken down before it became habitual to take down the tunes of folk songs.

Yet this is a book of texts and tunes. Where do the tunes come from? A few are genuinely traditional (although often from versions of the songs much later than the earliest texts). Others are, frankly, guesses and reconstructions. So be warned: These are not true traditional Robin Hood songs.

And there are no background notes. For that, you need Francis James Child's The English and Scottish Popular Ballads, or some other scholarly Robin Hood work. On the other hand, those books won't get you the ornate woodcut-type artwork you see here.

So if you want pretty versions of Robin Hood songs, this may be the book for you. If you want real songs of Robin Hood... get Child, or Dobson and Taylor's Rhymes of Robin Hood, or some other serious book. ( )

this book is really long and the pictures are too busy. There is a small illustration for every verse of every song and there is too much on the pages. This is not a book that most children will sit down and read.

PREFACE
Unfortunately, in presenting folklore to the public, many editors have tried to interpret it unnecessarily and have often distorted it in the process.
