Otto of the Silver Hand
A rich and engrossing thread of Romance runs through this tale of the motherless son of a valiant robber baron of Medieval German. Young Otto, born into a warring household in an age when lawless chiefs were constantly fighting each other or despoiling the caravans of the merchant burghers, is raised in a monastery only to return to his family's domain and become painfully involved in the blood-feud between his father and the rival house of Truthz-Drachen.

The narrative is told with Howard Pyle's consummate skill and illustrated with some of the most enchanting sketches ever done for a book of this type. Like the same author's version of The Story of King Arthur and His Knights (Dover $25.0) and his collection of original stories known as The Wonder Clock (Dover, $3.00), this book has become a legend, a modern story with the feel and sound of ancient tale. It is a reading adventure that youngsters will not soon forget.
