Beschreibung
The adventures that flowed from the pen of Alexandre Dumas are well loved. Less known today are his tales of Robin Hood. It is our pleasure to provide these two old works to a new public: readers of the 21st Century. English versions of The Prince of Thieves and Robin Hood the Outlaw have virtually disappeared from bookshelves; they are now edited, corrected, and made accessible to the world in print and e-formats, by the Reginetta Press.
This volume continues the story begun in The Prince of Thieves. Read more of Robin and Marian's romance, and learn of Robin's unlucky betrayal by a woman; of Robin's valiant leadership of the Merrie Men including Little John, Will Scarlett, and Friar Tuck; their battles against the Sheriff of Nottingham ¿ and the craven Prince John. Outwitting crafty ecclesiastics along the way, Robin at last bows to King Richard Coeur-de-Lion.
Retold in Alfred Allinson’s lush translation from the original French, the hero’s adventure winds to a stirring conclusion.

Über den Autor
Alexandre Dumas was a renowned French writer born on July 24, 1802. He is best known for
his historical novels, including The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Man in
the Iron Mask. Dumas was the son of a French nobleman and a Haitian slave, and his mixed-race
background influenced his writing, which often featured themes of social justice and equality.

Dumas's literary career began as a playwright, and his first major success was the play Henri III et
sa Cour (Henry III and His Court) in 1829. He went on to write numerous plays and novels, earning
him great popularity and wealth during his lifetime. However, Dumas also faced discrimination and
financial difficulties due to his race.

Today, Dumas is widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in French literature and his works
continue to be celebrated for their exciting plots, memorable characters and exploration of complex
social issues.
