Pyle synthesized many traditional Robin Hood legends and ballads in this work, while toning them down to make them suitable for children. For instance, he modified the ballad Robin Hood's Progress to Nottingham, changing it from Robin's killing fourteen foresters for not honoring a bet, to Robin's defending himself against a band of armed robbers. Pyle has Robin kill only one man-who shoots at him first. Tales in which Robin steals all that an ambushed traveler carried, such as Robin Hood and the Bishop of Hereford, are changed so that the victim keeps a third, and another third is dedicated to the poor.
