Stobbs also illustrated
Most of his works most widely held in WorldCat participating libraries were written by Ronald Syme: juvenile biographies of Magellan, De Soto, Balboa, da Gama, Hudson, Cartier, Vespucci, Raleigh, Pizarro, John Smith of Virginia, Captain John Paul Jones, Columbus, Captain Cook, Verrazano, Cabot, Bolivar, Cortes, La Salle, Champlain, Marquette and Joliet, and Drake.[4][5] Nevertheless, WorldCat identifies Stobbs with the genres folktale and fairy tale, which recognises his editions of tales from Perrault or the Brothers Grimm or traditional English tales such as Jack and the Beanstalk and The Three Little Pigs; and his illustrations of modern retellings of international tales. His single most widely held work is Poems from Ireland (New York: Crowell, 1972), ten centuries of Irish poetry anthologised by William Cole.[5]
Some of his papers are collected at the University of Minnesota.
