Description

*Illustrated
*Includes Table of Contents

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.
The Rose of Paradise is one of Pyle’s many pirate stories, this one being a historical fiction loosely based on Captain John Mackra and the English pirate Edward in the 18th century. 
This edition of Pyle’s The Rose of Paradise specially formatted with a Table of Contents and is illustrated with over a dozen pictures of Pyle and his illustrations.
