Otto of the Silver Hand

By Howard Pyle
Otto of the Silver Hand by Howard Pyle digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Written in the style of traditional Arthurian legends, “Otto of the Silver Hand” is a scathing tale of the realities behind the chivalric ideal. During the course of his studies of medieval society, in preparation to write a magnificent series on King Arthur’s Court, Howard Pyle shockingly discovered a mentality of cruelty and vengefulness among the legendary knights, which he brings to light in this work. However, these criticisms cannot overshadow the high sense of adventure in the story and illustrations of Otto, the gentle-natured son of a German warlord who, reclaimed from a monastery at age 12, suffers under the hands of a vengeful family rival, Baron Henry. While being held prisoner he falls in love with Baron Henry’s daughter, Pauline, until he’s rescued by his father and escapes his captor’s grasp. The chase ensues in this epic tale of a young man overcoming hatred and strife with goodness and love. This edition includes a biographical afterword.
