Originally published in 1929, this volume contains Ben Jonson's incomplete play The Sad Shepherd, or A Tale of Robin Hood. It first appeared in the second volume of Jonson's works in 1641 and the text for this edition was largely based on that version, with some modernisation of spelling and punctuation.
This Biblical fictional novel, set prior to Jesus' birth, explores themes of motherhood. It begins with the Valley of Gardens, where the sad shepherd walked far above the friendly valley, in a region where ridges of gray rock welted and scarred the back of the earth, like wounds of half-forgotten strife and battles long ago.
