Description

Howard Pyle had many admirers among his contemporaries, including Vincent Van Gogh, who once said that Pyle’s work “struck me dumb with admiration.” Considering the famous painter was talking about artwork, the extent of Pyle’s ability and quality was clear. 

In addition to teaching illustration courses at Drexel Institute of Art, Science, and Industry, Pyle put his talents to use, primarily illustrating children’s books. He is best remembered today for his work on The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, which remains in print, and he also did a four-volume set of King Arthur tales. Though he also wrote his own novels, he continued to be in popular demand for illustrations, and he was employed by periodicals like Harper’s Weekly.
Otto of the Silver Hand is one of Pyle’s classic medieval adventures, following a hero trying to help a fair lady and battling monsters. Pyle, of course, had plenty of practice writing these types of stories, having already tried his hand at King Arthur's legends. 
This edition of Pyle’s Otto of the Silver Hand specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with over a dozen pictures of Pyle and his illustrations.
