Ericsson, John Olof - Robin Hoods Hämnd

By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-06-15. Revised by Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2020-06-15.

Beginning in the mid-1920s, Stockholm school teacher, poet, travel writer, translator, and writer of children's books, John O. Ericsson published five children's books on Robin Hood that were collectively to become the most frequently translated, adapted, republished and reprinted Robin Hood-related oeuvre throughout the Nordic countries. The total number of printings in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland will probably turn out to be closer to 200 than 100. The first of the books, Robin Hoods Hämnd ('Robin Hood's Revenge'), was published in 1934.
