Sobre este artículo
New York: Charles Scribner’s Sons, [1984]. First Printing of the Special Limited Numbered Edition. First Thus. Illustrated with full-page colour plates, pictorial endleaves and a tipped on cover plate all by N.C. Wyeth. 8vo, in a fine binding of peach cloth, gilt tools and lettering on spine and a pictorial pastedown on the front cover, top edge gilt with ribbon place marker sewn in, wrapped in a tissue dustjacket, in a matching slip-case. 362, [8 blank] A mint copy, unused and as published. A superb copy. FIRST PRINTING OF THE SPECIAL LIMITED EDTION. One of 500 numbered copies of this limited edition which used laser color separations to produce plates which are truer to the original paintings than previous editions. The Wyeth/Creswick Robin Hood was originally published by David Mckay, but is has since been purchased by Scribners.
Paul Creswick's telling of Robin Hood draws from the rich and varied lore surrounding the beloved outlaw. It is a spirited reworking of the noble adventures and brings to life Friar Tuck, Little John, Maid Marian, the Sheriff of Nottingham, and, of course, Robin Hood himself, the hero whose generosity and sense of justice has captivated readers for over eight hundred years.
Though perhaps not immediately apparent to every viewer, Wyeth gives Sherwood Forest a distinctly American look.
