Synopsis

In "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood," Howard Pyle reimagines the legendary English outlaw with a rich tapestry of tales that blend adventure, humor, and moral lessons. Written in a lively, engaging style, Pyle employs a storytelling approach marked by vivid characterizations and spirited dialogue, reflecting the popular historical romances of the late 19th century. This work not only captures the essence of medieval folklore but also reinvigorates the Robin Hood legend, positioning it within the larger context of American literature that adores the themes of rebellion and justice. Howard Pyle, a pioneer in the field of children's literature and illustration, was deeply influenced by his love for medieval history and art, as well as his role in the growing American interest in folklore. His background in art and narrative storytelling allowed him to create an immersive world where readers could lose themselves in the valiant escapades of Robin Hood and his merry band of outlaws. Pyle's passion for storytelling was catalyzed by a desire to inspire a sense of adventure and moral courage in young readers. Recommended for both young readers and adults seeking a nostalgic dive into folklore, "The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood" invites audiences to explore themes of camaraderie, justice, and the brave spirit of defiance. Pyle's enchanting prose and captivating illustrations make this an essential addition to any literary collection.

    Historic Triangle of Virginia...

    Jamestown is fondly remembered today for being the first permanent English settlement in the colonies, but it was not fondly remembered by those who lived and died there. The English quickly learned it would be difficult to establish a permanent settlement because of the poor weather, the swampy terrain, the hostile natives living nearby, and the general inexperience and ineptitude of the English settlers. During their first winter, everyone nearly starved, and more than half of the settlers died. By the end of the winter of 1609-1610, known as the “starving time”, barely 10% of the settlers were still alive. Nevertheless, Jamestown is remembered today because the settlement did survive through the hardships and go on to serve as the capital of the English colony for much of the 17th century. At the same time, one of the biggest reasons for its survival and fame today can be attributed to the local Native Americans, particularly Pocahontas, who has added both a human and romanticized, mythological element to Jamestown.  
    	Along with Jamestown and Yorktown, Colonial Williamsburg is known today as part of the Historic Triangle of Virginia, but all three of these old Virginian sites are known for vastly different reasons. While Yorktown was the scene of the final climactic battle of the American Revolution and Jamestown is remembered for being the first English settlement to survive in Virginia, Colonial Williamsburg is now best known as a bridge to the past.  
     Williamsburg got its start as a fortified site, which was vitally necessary for English settlers to heavily outnumbered by nearby Native Americans, many of which were at times hostile. Known originally as Middle Plantation, the site served as the capital of the colony for much of the 18th century, and it bore witness to seminal events in the history of Revolutionary era America.

    The Missing Room by Lynn Venable - It was a dream house; yet the dream could have been a nightmare... 
    From the low cruising helicar, the cottage appeared charming. Lorinda gave a little exclamation of delight and exclaimed breathlessly, "Oh, that one, Dyke. Please, we must look at that one.” 
    The helicar was only about a hundred feet from the ground, and they could easily see the "For Sale” sign on the green lawn. Dyke guided the helicar down onto the landing strip beside the attached copterport. The cottage certainly had the most modern conveniences. 
    They stepped out, Dyke assisting Lorinda from the helicar with all the self-conscious solicitude of a brand new husband. They stood for a moment on the neat little postage stamp of a lawn, arm in arm. 
    The cottage was different from the others on the block, it was similar in its contemporary design, its just-for-two smallness, but still, it was different. It seemed to radiate charm out of all proportion to its physical aspects, as sometimes a relatively unattractive person will, for no reason you can put your finger on, be utterly irresistible. 
    "I wonder if it’s open?” asked Lorinda. "There’s one way to find out,” answered Dyke. After a token rap on the door, he twisted the knob. The door opened quietly inward. 
    "Oh, Dyke, should we?’’
