- This is among the earliest children's books to consist of prose renderings of the ballads arranged to form a 'life' of Robin Hood. The author includes an introduction in which he touches on his motivation for writing the book. This should be of wider interest: The volume of ballads termed "Robin Hood's Garland" has been hiterto nearly the only work from which the public of the present day has derived its acquaintance ith the character now under discussion, and these it is well known from their obsolete phraseology and antiquated style are not adapted to the taste of the reading community, with whom even good poetry, to use a term in general use, is below par. [p. ii:] What has been long wanted, as a substitute for the Garland, is the matter it contains re-modelled, amplified, and embellished, so as to give life and reality to the characters represented: and that in such a manner as neither to be too extended, and therfore voluminous and expensive; nor too much abridged, …3 KB (370 words) - 21:50, 23 May 2022

- Short introduction We hope that this wiki will in due course come to live up to its somewhat grand name. It is called 'International' because in addition to the vast amount of material that exists in English, we intend to add information about materials in other languages such as translations of ballads, secondary literature, children's fiction, literature on foreign analogues of Robin Hood etc. Arguably 'Bibliography' is a misnomer as the site already includes a wealth of all sorts of information one would not normally expect to find in a bibliography, but the bibliographical aspect is in all cases taken quite seriously, and there is already a wiki named the Robin Hood Wiki, so another name had to be found for the site.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-08. Revised by … The legal maxim "Robin Hood in Barnsdale stood", with variants such as "Barndale", "Barnwood", "Sherwood", "greenwood", "Greendale", occurs in a number of case summaries from 1429 to the late 17th century. It does not seem that anybody has made a serious attempt to establish the exact meaning of this expression. In view of (then) prevailing attitudes to tales of Robin Hood, could its signification be as unspecific as 'tush', 'nonsense' or 'rubbish' followed by an exclamation mark? The earliest known (snatch of a) poem to contain a line similar to this legal maxim is found in an MS of the first quarter of the fifteenth century (see Citations below). In addition to examples from year books and other summaries of legal cases, the citations include literary allusions and poetry fragments that include the phrase "Robin Hood in Barnsdale (Sherwood etc.) stood.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-07-23. Revised by … Allusion Source notes "P. 206, I. Clim of the clough] Collier refers to the well-known ballad of Adam Bell, Clim of the Clough, and William of Cloudeslie (see Hazlitt's Early Pop. Poetry, ii. 131, and Laing's Pop. Poet. of Scotland, ed. Hazlitt, ii. 90, &c.), but remarks that it is not clear why the devil should be called by this name. There is nothing in the ballad about drinking scalding lead and sulphur in hell. From N. Breton's Pasquil's Pass and passeth not, 1600, B2 v, it would appear that 'Clim of the Clough' had some other sense, but the passage is very obscure. Can this have been the nickname of some contemporary clown, or possibly fire-eater? The stanza runs: He that will passe into a Clownes conceit, Let him take heede he know a clouted shooe, Lest he be cousoned with a close deceit: When seely Fooles know not what Knaues can doe, With, Yea, and Nay, to bring an Ideot to: But if he kindly know Clim of the …3 KB (422 words) - 06:43, 17 May 2022
- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-08-03. Revised by … Allusion Source notes Editors' brackets. P. 309 n. 1: "N.B. Wood and Hood are dialectically pronounced '´ood.'" IRHB comments William Bayzand, who wrote this anecdote in his memoirs, worked as a guard on the Mazepa coach from London via Oxford to Hereford in the years 1820-40. In 1840 or later he became janitor of Camera Radcliviana at Oxford. His MS memoirs, purchased by the Bodleian Library in 1884, were written, according to their title, when the author was in his 75th year. Based on this and the rare surname we can probably conclude that he is identical with a William Bayzand who was born in Worcestershire, 1808, and died in Oxford in 1886 aged 78. Mundia: William Bayzand Profile. This yields a date of writing of c. 1883. He would have been only 12 years when he started work on the coach. This sounds a little young for a "guard", but he may have started in another position. Bayzand does not say when the incident …3 KB (512 words) - 04:48, 17 January 2021

Thus, an inscription on the ringing-gallery at Cawston, Norfolk, records ' what good ale this work made'; and another, on the 'bachelors' loft' before the south chapel of the chancel at Thorpe-le-Soken, Essex, states that part of the expense was defrayed by 'alys.'"
