In the following essay, May argues that Pyle's depiction of the mythical forest in The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood is inclusive of young female readers, unlike other books for children such as Treasure Island and Peter Pan, where girls are either explicitly left out or serve as young mother figures who perform household duties while the boys have real adventures.

This is a free excerpt of 84 words. There are 3,449 words (approx. 11 pages at 300 words per page) in the full critical essay.
