Introduction by Ella De Mers
Cover art:
Blurb: “Myles Falworth is an impudent country lad when Men of Iron opens. His stage is medieval England, an England torn and smoldering with the intrigue of the fifteenth century. Weak, treacherous Richard II has been dethroned, Henry IV is monarch in his stead - and still the land seethes with dark plans.
Unaware that he is the center of frenzied plotting, young Myles — a squire in the service of the powerful Earl of Mackworth — grows from the pranks of boyhood into the chivalry of a Knight of the Bath. In the blazing climax, Myles is pitted against the Earl of Alban, vicious persecutor of the Falworth family, in a duel to the death. And this duel can mean his father's life... or death, his family's honor... or dishonor.
With all the loving skill of a master craftsman, Howard Pyle depicts the cruel but brilliant world in which Myles attains his manhood. His writing instinctively portrays the varied nuances of his subject with unerring accuracy, as did his superb illustrations, one of which appears on the cover.”
