Vivian, Evelyn Charles Henry - Robin Hood and his Merry Men

Vivian, E. Charles. Robin Hood and his Merry Men (London and Melbourne, [1927]), plate facing p. 116 (illus. by Harry E. Theaker)

Gable considered this "[a]bout the best modern English juvenile edition". As he was a book collector, it is possible he was mainly thinking about the illustrations. The first edition has 48 colour illustrations on plates. They are about the best I have seen. A cheap edition with only one (black and white) illustration was published during WWII.
