- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-08-22. Revised by … I designate as proto-juvenile items that illustrate the transition from popular literature for a varied audience to children's literature proper. The items included here will be mostly prose chapbooks that I feel are slightly too late (c. 1800 or later) for the section on Early prose and which seem likely to have been aimed at a juvenile audience. It is a reasonable assumption that many copies of Robin Hood's Garland were purchased for (or by) young readers, yet these belong more naturally in the section on ballads.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2014-08-22. Revised by … More than fifty editions/printings of chap-books of Robin Hood ballads are known. They often carry the title 'Robin Hood's Garland'. In case of items with other titles, one often cannot tell from the title and other bibliographical data whether it is a chapbook ballad collection or a prose-chapbook. Such doubtful items are listed separately under the heading "Ballads or prose". The first known Robin Hood's Garland dates from 1663, but this probably was not the first printing. The latest garlands, under other titles, would seem to date from the very late 19th or Early 20th century, but again this is hard to determine as the titles tend not to reveal whether the contents are verse or prose. I have only inspected a handful of garlands. ⁃ Anonymous 1810a. Is this 24 page item a reduced version of Robin Hood's Garland or a prose chap-book? ⁃ M, S 1777a. ⁃⁃ M, S 1808a.

- 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
- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-15. Revised by … William Wallace (1272-1305) is a Scottish national hero who was given the title of Guardian of Scotland after he led Scottish forces to victory over an English army at the Battle of Stirling Bridge (Sep. 11, 1297). Wallace was captured and executed by the English in 1305. His deeds are celebrated in the Middle Scots poem The Actes and Deidis of the Illustre and Vallyeant Campioun Schir William Wallace, written by Henry the Minstrel aka Blind Harry (c.1440-1492), and often called Blind Harry's Wallace. Essentially describing Wallace as a guerilla leader this poem bears similarities to the Gest and other Early outlaw literature as to themes, motifs and overall tone.

- By Henrik Thiil Nielsen, 2013-07-12. Revised by … Fulk Fitz-Warin III (c. 1160-1258) was a Marcher Lord and heir to Whittington Castle in Shropshire, who in 1200, when he was denied the right to inherit the castle, went into rebellion against King John. He was pardoned and reinstated as lord of Whittington in 1203. His deeds and those of his ancestors were the subject of a 13th century Anglo-Norman narrative poem that was part ancestral romance, part outlaw tale. This is lost, but a very close 13th century prose paraphrase survives. There was also an ME metrical romance which was still extant in the mid-16th century, when John Leland made excerpts from it, supplementing it, where a couple of leaves were missing, with the Anglo-Norman version. The story of Fulk's outlawry, as told in these literary sources, is not only very interesting in it own right but also has many clear, sometimes very close, parallels to the Early Robin Hood ballads, especially the Gest.

- 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, 2014-09-12. Revised by … Allusion IRHB comments The title of Thomas Hall's pamphlet, Funebria Floræ, means "the Funeral of Flora". It has the wonderful subtitle "The Downfall of May-Games: wherein Is set forth the rudeness, prophaneness, stealing, drinking, fighting, dancing, whoring, mis-rule, mis-spence of precious time, contempt of God, and godly Magistrats, Ministers and People, which oppose the Rascality and rout, in this their open prophaneness, and Heathenish Customs." (etc.) In view of the tone of this title, banishment, the punishment meted out to Flora at Thomas Hall's imaginary court, seems relatively lenient. May games may at times have been rowdy affairs, but on the other hand the jury by which our Roman goddess is here judged is far from impartial. When Flora is dragged into court, it is because Early modern theologians were convinced. or whished to convey the idea, that May games had their origin in the Roman floralia, annual …4 KB (580 words) - 18:40, 7 January 2021

Revised by … No less than 14 versions exist of a Danish ballad on the murder of King Erik the Fifth 'Klipping' in 1286 and its aftermath. It is possible this king's nickname 'Klipping' refers to his devaluing, clipping the coins. See Wikipedia: Eric V of Denmark. They all feature Marsk Stig Andersen Hvide (d. 1293) and his relatives or associates as central characters. A "marsk" Ordbog over det danske Sprog: Marsk, sb. 2 (in Danish). or "marskalk" was a commander of an army (cf. English "marshall"), a royal servant of very high rank that can be compared to a minister of war or minister of defence in more recent times.
