Negative Positive
Title: abridged beyond recognition
Review: "This Townsend Library classic has been carefully edited to be more accessible to today's students."...somehow I missed the description of this when I ordered this particular edition. It is entirely misleading for this book to claim to be written by "Howard Pyle" as it has been cut, slashed and dumbed down as to be almost unrecognizable. The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood is a beautifully written work, composed with beautiful language - that's how it should be read and enjoyed. It is not an easy read, but not every beautiful thing in life is supposed to be easy.If you're looking for a cliff notes version of the story, purchase this edition. If you're satified with the shell of a story, great, this is for you. If you're looking to purchase and enjoy "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood" by Howard Pyle this is absolutely not it.
