This collection of five tales and one play contains the definitive
Robin Hood. They are the earliest ballads and play and still the
best of the bunch. 'Robin Hood and the Monk' is the earliest
surviving manuscript, dated c.1450, and is considered the greatest
of the ballads, though it was probably not sung, being described as
a 'talkyng'; 'Robin Hood's Death' is one of the most satisfying
tragedies in the English language; while 'A Lytell Geste of Robyn
Hode' is a comprehensive account of the famous English outlaw -
complete, unified and pointing quite clearly to the reign of Edward
II as a probable time for an historical Robin Hood, despite the
opinions of most of the experts.
