Summary "The Book of Brave Old Ballads" by John Gilbert is a collection of traditional ballads, likely written in the late 19th century. This anthology features famous tales of heroism, adventure, and romance, with notable characters such as Robin Hood, the Childe of Elle, and Sir Lancelot du Lake, captured in poetic form. Each ballad tells a distinct story, showcasing the valor and struggles of its protagonists. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to the lively tale of "Robin Hood and Guy of Gisborne," where Robin Hood awakens in the greenwood, compelled to seek vengeance after a troubling dream involving two formidable foes. Accompanied by his loyal men, he encounters Guy of Gisborne, leading to a fierce confrontation between the two archers. This opening segment captivates the reader with a blend of humor, tension, and adventure, setting the stage for the rest of the collection that continues to explore themes of loyalty, bravery, and the continued exploits of beloved legendary figures.
