What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

I read this book countless times when I was in grade school (so early 1990s). I cannot remember the title, but I feel like it said something about the Merry Men or the Outlaws of Sherwood.

It was my favorite version of Robin Hood, and I haven't found one I like better. I most likely found it in the MG or YA section of the library.

The only specific thing I remember is that when Robin Hood and Little John go to the shooting tournament, they give their names as "Nibor Dooh" and "Elttil Nhoj" and say they are "from the Orient." And they are sniggering about it the whole time.

Robin Hood: An Illustrated Adventure Classic?

"What name?" asked the Sheriff. "Er— Nibor, my Lord." "A strange name," commented the Sheriff. "He says, my Lord, that he comes from the Orient."

"Ah, that explains it," exclaimed the Sheriff. "And the other?"

"The bearded one. even stranger, my Lord," said the guard. "He calls himself— as I heard it — Elttil Nhoj."

"Sire, I come from a backward country."

There was a sound that might have been a strangled laugh from the bearded stranger.
