Introduction by Ella De Mers
Cover art:
Blurb: “
The pomp and pageantry of the Middle Ages were especially impressed upon the mind of Howard Pyle, but he was equally able to absorb and pass on to his readers the spirit of American colonial history, the mythical tales of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, pirate legends, and the world that lies beyond the horizon of the everyday matter-of-fact.
Many of his stories of chivalry, adventure, and achievement are still popular today, but none more so than Men of Iron. The youthful hero, Myles Falworth, is the son of a lord unjustly condemned for treason in the days when King Henry IV was bringing England under firm rule following the weak and corrupt reign of Richard II. How Myles grew in knightly prowess and virtue until he finally vindicated his father and won the favor of the King is told with vigor, enthusiasm, and moral purpose that bring the history of those stirring times vividly before the eyes of the reader.”
