Howard Pyle (1853-1911) was an American illustrator and author, primarily known for his work in children's literature. Pyle's contribution to the literary world is marked by his adept skill in narrative illustration and storytelling. Born in Wilmington, Delaware, on March 5, 1853, he developed a passion for art and writing early in his life. Pyle studied at the Art Students League of New York and later in Belgium. His storytelling prowess is best exemplified by his rendition of classic folklore tales, imbued with moral lessons and vivid imagery which have captivated young minds for generations. One of Pyle's most cherished contributions is 'The Story of King Arthur and His Knights' (1903), where he masterfully reimagines the Arthurian legends. This work showcases Pyle's literary style, weaving together the chivalric code and Victorian notions of nobility with the myths of Arthur and the Round Table. With his distinctive illustrations and rich, engaging text, Pyle breathed new life into these enduring tales, securing his place as a key figure in the popularization of these legends in America.

Today, Pyle is remembered both for his enchanting stories and his enduring impact on the art of illustration.
