Acerca del autor
Howard Pyle (1853–1911) was a distinguished American illustrator, author, and teacher, recognized predominantly for his contributions to children's literature and his innovative illustrations that are celebrated to this day. Born in Wilmington, Delaware, Pyle exhibited artistic talent early in life and pursued his interests at the Art Students League in New York. He eventually moved toward writing and illustrating, blending his talents to create engaging books that captivated young readers. Pyle's deep love for tradition and folklore is evident in his narrative style, and he is most revered for his reimagining of medieval and romantic tales, often imbued with a moral undertone. Pyle's bibliography is substantial, but of particular note is 'Stolen Treasure' (1907), which showcases his ability to craft exciting adventure stories that still enchant readers. His works often feature a vividness in expression and a fluidity in storytelling, qualities that have established him as a seminal figure in children's literature. Considered the 'Father of American Illustration,' Pyle founded the Brandywine School, where he mentored a generation of artists, including N.C. Wyeth, instilling in them a robust and lyrical artistic style that influenced American visual narrative for years to come. Pyle left an indelible mark on both the literary and art worlds; his books, as well as his pedagogical legacy, affirm his place in the pantheon of great American storytellers.
