Howard Pyle brings the worlds of outlaw adventure and chivalric romance into richly imagined narratives. The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood offers forest exploits and encounters with authority, while Men of Iron and Otto of the Silver Hand explore growing up amid medieval conflict.

The collection gives readers several approaches to loyalty, honor, friendship, and the costs of heroic ambition in legendary and historical settings.

Myths and legends can be enjoyed as adventures while also opening conversations about a culture's heroes, values, and imagined world.
