Om författaren

Howard Pyle (1853-1911) was an influential American illustrator, writer, and teacher, renowned for his contributions to children’s literature and the illustration of classic folklore. A native of Wilmington, Delaware, Pyle’s passion for art and storytelling was evident from an early age. He developed a distinctive style characterized by vivid characterizations and a clear narrative focus, which resonated with both young and adult readers. Pyle authored and illustrated a remarkable collection of works, among them the celebrated ’Arthurian Tales’, which reimagined the legendary stories of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table for a new generation. His retellings were noted for their medieval romanticism and fidelity to the spirit of the original myths. Pyle’s literary style combined with his artistic talents breathed life into historical and mythical figures alike, leaving a legacy that influenced not only the field of children’s literature but also the visual style of future illustrators and storytellers. His work continues to be revered, and his methods and teachings, imparted at the Brandywine School, left an indelible mark on the fabric of American illustration, cultivating talents such as N.C. Wyeth, Frank Schoonover, and Jessie Willcox Smith. Pyle’s ’Arthurian Tales’ and other works like ’The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood’ established him as a keystone in the edifice of American literary and illustrative arts.
