About the Author
Howard Pyle (1853-1911) was a celebrated artist, author, and teacher -- and a primary figure in the history of children's literature. Not only did he guide and inspire such artistic talents as N. C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, and Jessie Willcox Smith, but he was also a master storyteller in his own right. The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood, Pepper & Salt, and The Wonder Clock are among the many stories and folktales that he wrote and illustrated.
From Publishers Weekly
The King of Storks befriends a drummer boy and helps him woo a princess. PW was surprised to find "such a sexy, bare-breasted lass as the princess in a children's book," but added that the illustrations "capture the essence ofthe characters from the classic story."
